Charging parents when a minor commits a crime, even if the minor is charged
as an adult, is not new.

Finding parents financially liable in civil court is even less new.  As the
details have emerged, I suspect this daddy is going to be the target of
many negligence lawsuits (and rightfully so).

If the father wasn't told his son was a potential threat, and then turned
around and bought the kid a gun anyway, you might have a point.  As is, he
should have known better and should be charged.

Which fits in this instance.

I would also argue that it fits the description of the actions of local law
enforcement, who took the kid's "I don't have Discord, I only have Tik Tok"
word over the FBI evidence.
