Sins of the Child: Are parents responsible for the crimes of their children?

In 2015, the small town of Oxford, Michigan became the scene of a uniquely American nightmare: a school shooting. It was, tragically, like many of the mass shootings that had come before it. A lonely young man with access to guns and a history of mental illness. A number of warning signs that went unnoticed. But then, something happened that had never been done before: the prosecutors charged the shooter's parents, too.


This week on Crime Story, I speak with Jessica Lowther, who unpacks this story in her new podcast Sins of the Child.
