自從1999年科羅拉多州哥倫拜高中慘案以來，美國各地學校已發生84起大型槍擊案。

情態副詞

Each tragedy is uniquely horrific, but the response from lawmakers has become frustratingly predictable.

每一場悲劇都同樣駭人聽聞，但立法者的回應卻變得令人沮喪地可預測。

Condolences, partisan rhetoric, and ultimately inaction.

致哀、黨派言論，最終卻是無所作為。

Which is why we took note of how some prosecutors are pursuing these cases.

這就是為什麼我們注意到有些檢察官是如何處理這些案件的。

They're not just putting the gunman behind bars.

They're starting to hold the shooter's parents responsible.

For the past two weeks, the father of an accused high school mass shooter has been on trial in Barrow County, Georgia.

過去兩週，一名被指控的高中大規模槍擊案槍手的父親，在喬治亞州巴羅郡接受審判。

Prosecutors there argue that he ignored red flags about his son before the teen shot up apalachee high in 2024, a tragedy that left Ford dead.

當地的檢察官認為，在該青少年於2024年槍擊阿帕拉契高中前，他忽略了關於兒子的危險信號，這場悲劇造成Ford死亡。

He it's not the first time the parent has been put on trial.

Tonight, we'll look at the precedent setting case out of Oxford, Michigan, and

今晚，我們將探討密西根州牛津的這起創紀錄案件，以及

ask whether holding parents accountable is enough to break the cycle of school shooting violence.

來探討讓父母負責是否足以打破校園槍擊暴力循環。

Four years ago, on a cold November day, a gunman opened fire at Oxford high school, about 40 miles north of Detroit.

四年前，在一個寒冷的十一月天，一名槍手在底特律以北約40英里的牛津高中開槍。

My son's texting me and saying they're shooting it.

好的，我現在要讓你掛電話了。

A 15 year old student walked the halls armed with a 9 millimeter handgun, killing four schoolmates.

And 14 year old Hannah St. Juliana, just three months into her freshman year.

還有14歲的Hannah St. Juliana，她才剛開學三個月。

Making people laugh is, I think, what most people remember about her.

我想，讓大家笑就是大家對她最深的印象。

Tate had a crazy, crazy awesome zest for life.

Tate 對生活充滿了瘋狂、瘋狂棒的熱情。

Juliana now find themselves on a growing list of families whose children have been killed in school shootings.

Juliana 現在發現自己也加入了越來越多孩子的父母行列，他們的孩子在校園槍擊案中喪生。

How are we doing as a country moving towards this?

我們國家在這方面做得怎麼樣？

Yeah, we're going backwards at the moment.

Changes that have been made at legislative level, trying to add more mental health support, more gun control, it's all being reversed.

在立法層級所做的改變，像是增加心理健康支持、加強槍枝管制，現在都被推翻了。

We don't seem to be wanting to learn from them.

You know, I feel like we need to get in prevention.

你知道，我覺得我們需要著手預防。

Prevention might have protected Oxford High students from this moment.

預防措施或許能讓牛津高中的學生們免於此刻的悲劇。

Prosecutors say the gunman, Ethan Crumbley, had texted his mother on multiple occasions that he saw demons in the family home.

檢察官表示，槍手伊森·克倫布利曾多次傳訊息給他的母親，說他在家裡看到了惡魔。

他向朋友保證他只是在開玩笑。

After, he texted that it's time to shoot up the school.

之後，他傳訊息說該是時候去學校開槍了。

And 24 hours before the attack, his Troubling conduct escalated, according to prosecutors and court testimony.

而根據檢察官和法庭證詞，事發前 24 小時，他令人不安的行為就已經升級了。

A teacher emailed administrators that she saw the sophomore looking at different bullets online in class.

一位老師發郵件給管理員，說她看到這位大二學生在課堂上瀏覽不同的子彈。

A school administrator left a voicemail for the boy's mother.

一位學校管理員給男孩的母親留了語音訊息。

She didn't respond, but later texted her son, lol.

她沒有回應，但後來傳訊息給她的兒子，說「哈哈」。

The next morning, just hours before the shooting, another teacher alerted administrators that the teen's math worksheet had drawings of a gun, a bullet, and

隔天早上，就在槍擊案發生前幾小時，另一位老師通知管理員，說這名青少年的數學工作紙上有槍、子彈和

a person bleeding along with the words, the thoughts won't stop.

Police found his journal on the bathroom floor detailing his desire and plan to shoot up his classmates.

警方在他的日記裡發現了詳細描述他想射殺同學的計畫。

Later, investigators learned that just three days before the attack, his mother had taken him to a shooting range with that 9 millimeter handgun which his father had purchased for him as an early Christmas present.

之後，調查人員得知，就在攻擊發生前三天，他的母親曾帶他去射擊場，使用那把 9 毫米手槍，這把槍是他的父親作為聖誕節的提前禮物買給他的。

你覺得他的父母有沒有辜負他？

I think there was plenty of red flags there for them to be aware that he was in crisis.

我認為有很多危險信號，他們應該知道他正處於危機之中。

And their answer to that was to go buy him a gun and take him shooting, which there's nothing wrong with that activity in and of itself.

而他們的應對方式是去買槍給他，帶他去射擊，這項活動本身沒有什麼不對。

But when that's your answer to a child in crisis, that's a problem.

但當你面對一個處於危機中的孩子時，這就是問題所在。

But this kid was asking for help at every level and he didn't get it and he did something horrible.

但這個孩子在各個層面都在尋求幫助，但他沒有得到，然後他做了可怕的事情。

He pled guilty to all charges and was sentenced to life in prison.

他對所有指控認罪，並被判處終身監禁。

But prosecutors argued he wasn't the only one to blame.

但檢察官認為他不是唯一該負責的人。

His parents were each convicted of four counts of involuntary manslaughter for failing to secure the gun and ignoring the warning signs of their son's mental health crisis.

他的父母因未能妥善保管槍枝並忽視兒子心理健康危機的危險信號，被判四項過失殺人罪。

I believe that the following sentences would be in the best interest of justice.

我相信以下的判決最符合正義。

They were sentenced to at least 10 years in prison.

It is the first time that parents anywhere in the country have been held criminally responsible for a mass school shooting committed by their child.

這是全國首次有父母因孩子犯下大型校園槍擊案而被追究刑事責任。

Our society refuses to take significant action to protect our children.

我們的社會拒絕採取重大行動來保護我們的孩子。

So one of the only places that we can put this back onto are the parents.

所以，我們能將責任歸咎的少數地方之一就是父母。

What's really unfortunate here is when you want to think about this shooting and accountability.

這裡真正令人遺憾的是，當你想起這次槍擊案和問責時。

Only the shooter and the parents have been held accountable.

只有槍手和父母被追究了責任。

There's been no accountability at the school.

Should the school bear some responsibility?

我是說，他們是做跟孩子有關的業務的。

I mean, the kid was in a counseling office.

我是說，那孩子當時在輔導室。

He basically already had a gun in his hand, and the counseling office fumbled it.

他手上其實已經有槍了，而輔導室卻搞砸了。

Victims lawsuits against school officials and the district have been dismissed, citing Michigan's government immunity laws, which protect public entities and and their employees from being sued.

針對學校官員和學區的受害者訴訟被駁回，理由是密西根州的政府豁免法，該法保護公共實體及其員工免於被起訴。

The law enforcement says, well, we don't want to waste our time doing the investigation because they've got immunity.

執法人員說，嗯，我們不想浪費時間調查，因為他們有豁免權。

They don't want to prosecute or try to prosecute because, well, they're coming up against immunity, so why bother?

他們不想起訴或試圖起訴，因為，嗯，他們遇到了豁免權，所以何必費事呢？

I mean, we fought consistently just to have this investigation done.

我的意思是，我們一直堅持，就為了完成這次調查。

I imagine that there will be people who say the schools are already stretched thin.

我猜會有人說學校已經捉襟見肘了。

They don't have the ability to do much with a kid who's in trouble.

他們沒辦法對一個有麻煩的孩子做太多事。
