Probably should leave the parents out of the discussion. Focus on the society that would create the situation where this would occur. This is the Twin Cities the home of George Floyd and Ilhan Omar. When I was a kid I could go to a mall and not get tossed off a balcony. The parents may need help with medical care. I would never think to question their actions.
I wonder how the kid is recovering 3 years on???
His parents were quoted as saying his recovery was a “miracle,” so that give some hope at least.
