If the Crumbleys in Michigan were sent to prison for the crimes their son committed, Harrisburg parents could face the same punishment.
Updated: Jun. 14, 2024, 3:37 p.m.Thomas Carter, commissioner of the Harrisburg City Police, Harrisburg Mayor Wanda Williams, and the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., Kappa Omega Chapter announce the a gun buy-back event. Harrisburg Police Commissioner Thomas C. Carter hit the nail on the head when he spoke directly to parents at last week’s press conference following yet another shooting one block from the state capitol.
The commissioner’s statements at the press conference begs one important question, where are the parents? The Harrisburg Chapter of Heeding God’s Call to End Gun Violence held an interfaith service and march in Harrisburg on May 1, 2022. The march ended at the Memorial to the Lost which contains 102 shirts with names of Harrisburg area people that lost their lives to gun violence since 2017. Vicki Vellios Briner | Special to PennLiveThe one-time gun buy-back may help to temporarily get some guns off the street. But the fear is kids will take the money and use it to buy more guns.
City officials should enforce the existing ordinance setting a curfew for minors in the city, and they should prosecute parents for not enforcing it in their own homes. This needs to begin immediately. We entered a new era of parental responsibility for gun violence with the conviction of two Michigan parents and their sentencing earlier this year.
