(I still think the columbine parents ought to have been arrested)
The people who I know who think that way are generally not parents. Raising teenagers is trickier than it looks. I hope to God when my kid is that age I am enough in his confidence to know what's going on with him, but that might not be the case.
Besides, you want to hold the parents accountable but don't want the kids hauled in before they can do harm, where there is reason to believe that they might?
