A Mother’s Arms

On Friday, Michele Cossey was charged with unlawful firearm transfer, reckless endangerment, possession of a firearm by a minor, corruption of a minor, and endangering the welfare of a child. Allegedly, Dillon Cossey received a handgun, a rifle, and a semi-automatic rifle. Her motivation? His unhappiness.

Parents should indulge their children. However, guns are not presents. Cossey’s actions were irresponsible and negligent. Typically, I oppose parental liability. With that stated, Cossey warrants severe punishment.
