Well prison time is sure to sour his disposition. I can't believe they aren't charging the little turd who shot the film. Allowing a friend to do something like that is tantamount to doing it yourself. Insofar as the rest of the family, I don't think it's harsh at all to hold them responsible. I was left with many families as a child and this sort of thing never happened because responsible parties were paying attention. Neglect can kill an infant. You can't just walk away and assume everything will be o.k. Even it was just a case of leaving the child with the teenager, I still think they're responsible. The article says the teen hadn't been in any trouble before. I don't believe that for a second!!! Neither may have been arrested before, but I'll bet their families can tell you stories that would curl your toes. If the kid shooting the film was hanging out with that kind of individual, why would his parents give him a child.
