The Lie of 'In Loco Parentis.'
The Jennifer Crumbley verdict, the legal responsibility of schools, a miscarriage of justice, and the national security threat that is the American school environment.
Cornell Law School defines “In loco parentis” as;
…the Latin term meaning "in [the] place of a parent" or "instead of a parent." The term refers to a common law doctrine which denotes the legal responsibility of some person or organization to perform some of the functions or responsibilities of a parent.
The typical organization found to be “in loco parentis” is a school, which is deemed to have some of the responsibilities of a parent over its students. Additionally, siblings or grandparents who take on the role of raising their sibling or grandchild may also be found in loco parentis.
Blacks Law Dictionary defines in loco parentis as the same, by stating;
In the place of a parent; instead of a parent; charged, factitiously, with a parent's rights, duties, and responsibilities. "Loco parentis" exists when person undertakes care and control of another inabsence of such supervision by letter's natural parents and in absence of formal legal approval, and istemporary in character and is not to be likened to an adoption which is permanent. Griego v. Hogan, 71 N.M. 280, 377 P.2d 953, 955.
As stated in a paper titled; Acting In Loco Parentis as a Defense to Assault and Battery, by Norman D. Tripp (1967), it states regarding a case titled Griego v. Hogan (71);
Where one is in loco parentis, the rights, duties, and liabilities of such person are the same as those of the lawful parent. One other than a parent, who has voluntarily assumed the function of controlling, training, or educating a child, is privileged to apply reasonable force or confinement as he believes to be reasonably necessary for the child's proper control, training, or education. A parent may restrict this right of punishment in one to whom he has entrusted his child, except in the case of a teacher who acts in a public capacity. A parent may not withdraw the right to use corporal punishment from a teacher. The courts are constantly faced with the question of deciding whether a person is acting in loco parentis and, if so, whether his acts are to be considered wrongful or privileged.
In essence, the question is, what legal responsibility does a school have, in the case of Ethan Crumbley in Oxford, Michigan and within the Oxford Community School District, to protect Ethan and the entire environment, when the parents are not in the timed legal position to supervise? The answer is clear. The school has a legal obligation to hold a child accountable with their legal supervision and written consequences, but the parent has the right to disagree and disobey the schools suggestions or punishment. Further, in the case of Griego v. Hogan (71), it was stated that;
The relationship between a teacher and his pupil is one of in loco parentis, and the relationship extends from the time the child leaves his home until he has returned. A superintendent of city schools was held not to be in loco parentis to pupils under a statute that said teachers stand in loco parentis. The court construed the word teacher, as used in the statute, to mean teachers only, and held that the legislature did not intend to include superintendent within its meaning.
Therefore, when a school-aged student is in the presence of a school employee, in particular one who works for the government, every employee they interact with is legally responsible for the minor’s safety and the safety of those around them.
For the first time in American history, a parent was found guilty of their child killing multiple students in a school/“mass shooting.” Keep that in mind throughout this article, all the way to the end.
As Jennifer Crumbley was found guilty on Tuesday of four counts of involuntary manslaughter, I will not hold back my experience and knowledge in the education field, nor will I hold back my knowledge of the corrupt judicial system and law enforcement. I also watched every minute of the trial and I watched every testimony and every argument, along with the closing arguments. I’ve read the Guidepost Solutions Report that the Oxford Community School District paid three million dollars to conduct, which clearly blamed the school and their employees for their failed and negligent actions, and I’ve communicated directly with Jesse Jaymz of the Dangerous INFO Podcast and Truth for Oxford, as they are local residents and have observed the inner-workings of this entire event closely, even before the shooting. Needless to say, I know far more about this than a mouth-breathing shit-poster on the internet. I firmly believe that this verdict was a massive miscarriage of justice.
Jennifer Crumbley was convicted of something that she did not do, nor play a role in. With this said, the mother of a black six-year-old boy, who stole his mothers gun and shot his white female teacher in the stomach during school (who survived) in Virginia a year ago, received two years in prison. However, in this case, you had a sophomore in high school who had been abused by the COVID lie, the schools forced-masking policy, social distancing, oxygen deprivation and open threats from school administrators to comply. He lost his dog, his grandmother and his best friend in the same year of 2021. Ethan was sleeping in class, in plain view of his teachers. He was an average student with slipping grades. He brought bullets to school, students knew this and didn’t say anything to anyone about it. Teachers showed concern for Ethan’s grades, but did not set up a single conference with the parents at anytime, nor did they do the same when they knew about his drawing a gun and messages on his math worksheet in class, during school. Ethan’s school teachers themselves were never in the parental conference the day of the shooting. This unprofessionalism clearly defines the school environment. Passing the buck and passing the responsibility from one person to the next, within schools, is common place and it’s a deadly and lazy approach. Ethan could also talk himself out of almost everything and was believed by adults. This, too, was brought up in court, and Ethan’s words were believed by both the school employees and his parents, both separately and at the same time, in the same room.
Below, is the original copy of Ethans math homework that was confiscated by the teacher on the day of the shooting, and the second copy are Ethans revisions that same day, once he was caught. Ethans written revisions on the second sheet are a direct contradiction to each comment he made on the worksheet, and obviously so. He was clearly attempting to hide his intentions. However, both papers were first visible to the school employees. Then, and only then, was a parental conference scheduled where these copies were shown to the parents. At no point was a police officer called, nor called to check Ethan’s backpack.
On the first paper Ethan drew a gun, a body bleeding, a smiley face and a bullet, then wrote;
“The thoughts won’t stop, help me.”
“Blood everywhere.”
“My life is useless.”
“The world is dead.”
On the revised paper, once Ethan was caught, he scratched out the gun, the body bleeding with bullet holes in it, he left the picture of the bullet, and scratched the sentences out and wrote;
“Video game this is.”
“OHS Rocks!”
“I love my life so much!!!”
“Harmless art.”
“Were all friends here.”
The reason I focus in on this worksheet (which was direct evidence in the trial) is because of in loco parentis. The school employees saw this first and no one thought that this was a sign of danger to either Ethan nor anyone else in the building. This was brought to the school employee’s attention and the parent’s attention, the day of the shooting in their parental conference and neither side thought this was a threat to anyone in the school. Clearly it is. Not acting on this worksheet alone, violated every policy that the district had in place and those policies they intended to have in place, as stated within the Guidepost Report itself.
His backpack was never checked after this worksheet was visible to school employees and Ethan’s parents, in their shared conference between Nicholas Ejak (the school’s Dean and asshole mask-wearing enforcer) and Shawn Hopkins (Ethans inept counselor). Checking the backpack never came up in the parental conference after this was shared to all of the adults in the room. Ethan also possessed a journal where he stated numerous times that he was going to shoot up the school, and he also stated that he knew his parents hid the gun and that he needed to find it, but also that he couldn’t get caught because he would then never have access to it ever again. This clearly showed that the parents were unaware of what was occurring within Ethan’s mind and that Ethan had plans he wanted to hide from everyone.
This journal was within his backpack and was never checked by the school employees nor his parents at their shared conference the day of the shooting. It was also never looked at by his parents nor Ethan’s teachers, as even Ethan wrote in this journal during class. The journal was known of by all involved parties, yet it was never checked by anyone.
The school could have forced Ethan to go home. They didn’t. The school could have detained Ethan, even after they testified in court that they feared he may harm himself. They didn’t. The school could have checked Ethan’s backpack. They didn’t. The school councilor testified that Ethan’s penmanship on the worksheet ‘defined suicidal ideation, but not suicidal thoughts nor an intent to harm others.’ The school counselor actually split the hair of “suicidal ideation” and “suicidal thoughts.” You have to be kidding me!
The counselor sent Ethan back to class, never checked his backpack and the parents went back to work, with the shared agreement between the school employees and the parents that the parents would get Ethan counseling within 48 hours. The parents left with mental-health resources given to them by the school, and that was it. The school employees themselves, including administrators, didn’t even follow their own district’s ALICE school-shooter training during the shooting, and this was testified to in court.
The rest is history.
Closing Arguments.
Prosecutor Heather McDonald’s closing arguments were a retrial of Ethan Crumbley’s actions all over again. She never blamed the school nor their employees. She jumped right over the subject. She showed pictures of the deceased and then showed them again. She played on emotion, becasue that’s all she had. Unfortunately, that’s all she would need, even when Jennifer Crumbley cried uncontrollably, throughout the entire trial in court, and on police surveillance footage the day of, and the days after the shooting. The same was true with James Crumbley the father during his preliminary hearings and when he was on surveillance footage, the day of, and after the shooting.
Defense Attorney Shannon Smith’s closing arguments were personable. She stated how endless parents would never see this coming with their own child. She humanized the entire room by sharing stories of her own family and how communications between parents and their children don’t tell a full story, nor could they in any family.
Smith blamed the lack of action from the school, the rare charges in such a case against the parents, and the unprecedented nature of this political witch-hunt. She also stated that the school itself has a culture of guns among their hunting population and the school students themselves posts pictures of girls in their homecoming dresses, holding hunting rifles and shotguns, and how this is done without any investigation because of the “trusting environment.”
It was also never brought up by either side, to my recollection, that Ethan stole the gun from his parents, which was clearly the case. He stole the gun that legally belonged to his father, as his father’s name was on the legal documentation to own the gun. The element of stealing a possession to commit a crime, was never addressed, again to my recollection.
Smith also defined the legal definition of ‘reasonable doubt’ and how if there is a single doubt in the case, then the verdict must be a “NOT GUILTY” in this case or any case. The simple fact that the jury deliberation took ten hours, across two days, showed endless doubt, yet the jury agreed on a guilty verdict anyway. This means that jurors can’t read nor think. They were blinded by emotions over facts. There was in fact doubt, there was innocence, and therefore, the verdict should have been NOT GUILTY.
But it wasn’t.
This trial was a political witch-hunt and a future gun-grab of grand proportions. In Michigan you have, Soros money, a stolen 2020 election (among other elections), a school district with no accountability and a corrupt, treasonous, Soros-funded law firm in Perkins Coie representing them. You have a corrupt and criminal Governor in Gretchen Whitmer and a corrupt and criminal Secretary of State in Dana Nessel, and their ties to the Oxford County District Attorney’s office, inhabited by Jennifer Crumbley’s prosecuting attorney Heather McDonald, among other lawyers. The corruption is undeniable and the brainwashing among the public is beyond evident.
However, there is a silver lining. What this case has proven, is that the idea of justice among the prosecution, the jury and the school district; is not justice at all, and the truth will always ripple like the waters of Lake Michigan when a boulder of truth is thrown in the middle.
First, as a result of this unjust outcome, more students will leave American schools and homeschool (in particular in Michigan), because now, parents know that if something bad happens within the school, the parents will be blamed first and often; by the school, law enforcement, attorney’s offices, state and county prosecutors and jurist fools everywhere, right into a jail cell. The corrupt judicial system just proved that the schools will be protected first and foremost, at the expense of families, children and parents, regardless of the truth. This has now been made abundantly clear.
Second, if you hold The Constitution up to your ear, you can hear Americans buying more guns as you read this. This verdict alone is causing more gun purchases within Michigan and every State in The United States; you can count on it.
Third, the jurors and the prosecution, along with every mouth-breathing idiot who aimlessly made comments in the online chat boards or on social media during the trial, without looking at the evidence objectively, are playing with the Devil. The Devil’s game is to deceive with ease, while God’s word is the stone-hard truth. With the latter stated, this verdict will eat away at the minds and the corrupt souls of the jurors, and that of the school district employees, as well as the prosecuting lawyers, for the rest of their lives. Where they may feel excitement now, will be short-lived and soon filled with dread. They will never be able to run away from this decision and it will eat them alive for the remainder of their time on earth.
Also, pay attention to who in Michigan prosecutes black parents for the crimes of their black kids. Pay attention to how frequently that happens in Oxford County, Michigan in the future, let alone Detroit. I won’t hold my breath.
The Crumbley’s are White. That was an element in this equation. Make no mistake about it.
As I’ve stated before, this trial proved that school shootings are also faked by the same State government that brings charges, prosecutes and tries them in court. If they were real, those cases would have gone to court too, lawsuits would have been filed and people would have been charged, as was the case here. But, they weren’t then and they never will be. This is undeniable proof that fake school shootings happen and real ones happen too. The proof is in the legal actions that occur after the fact, as if the evidence at the time isn’t obvious enough.
What happened to the “parent” of the “shooter” in Sandy Hook? They were “killed” by the “shooter” as the story goes. What happened to the parent(s) of the sho-called “shooter” in Uvalde? They were mentioned once after the fake shooting, then nothing. What happened to the parent of the tranny in Nashville? Nothing, and no one knows who they are, just like Uvalde. How about the Iowa high school before the Presidential Primary Vote this year? Not a peep. See a pattern?!
Moreover, we have no law or justice in America. We only have a dominate government-manipulated televised perception of reality, and then we have actually reality. We have The Matrix and The Real World.
In conclusion, no one wins here. Everyone loses. Lives have been lost permanently, and lives have been ruined, permanently. There’s no changing that now. I pray that the judge gives a lite, to non-existent sentence for Jennifer Crumbley (April 9th) who faces up to 15 years in prison, and that the same minimal to non-non-existant sentence occurs with the father James. I also hope that the appeals process delivers a different verdict in the future, if there is an appeals process to be had and objectively listened to. I also pray the Crumbley parents don’t kill themselves. God has something in store for them in the future, as He does with all of us.
Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake, government, the judicial system, the government school systems in America, and the useful idiots who kneel before them, have defined themselves as the enemies of a free people. The lines have been drawn and those lines are crystal clear. You can’t trust these entities with the legal responsibility of minors over that of the parent(s).
In loco parentis may be so-called law, but in reality, it’s an illusion. Those responsible for protecting your children will never be held accountable by the same government that protects them. The case of the Crumbley parents proved that, singlehandedly.
