this will be unpopular here, but I actually agree with this sentence. handing a minor a weapon, and then that minor committing a murder with that weapon, should absolutely be a manslaughter charge. this should apply universally.
If a parent gives their kid a condom and they go on to rape someone with it, should they be charged for that too? Should they be responsible for any car accidents their kid has?
Where is the line where a minor is finally accountable for their own actions?
Yes, so long as they are responsible for the kid. If a kid is not trustworthy with adult tools, don't fucking trust them with adult tools!
Also, the parent is not a scapegoat for the minor. The minor should have the full weight of the law thrown at them. However, the parents are not blameless either and should be held accountable.
