THEN ANOTHER ISSUE YOU HIT
ON, RHONDA, IS WHO IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR ETHAN
CRUMBLEY’S EDUCATION WHILE

THAT IT’S THE PARENT’S
RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE
EDUCATION.

HAVE IS ETHAN CRUMBLEY’S
GUARDIAN TO LOOK AFTER THE
SCHOOL SHOOTER WHILE IN
JAIL.
SHE POINTS OUT TODAY THAT
STATE LAW MANDATES THAT
CRUMBLEY MUST BE ABLE TO
CONTINUE HIS HIGH SCHOOL
EDUCATION WHILE BEHIND BARS.
AND IT WOULD BE HIS PARENTS
RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE
THAT HAPPENS BUT JAMES AND
JENNIFER CRUMBLEY ARE ALSO
LOCKED UP IN THE OAKLAND
COUNTY JAIL.
WHOEVER HAS CUSTODY OF ETHAN
CRUMBLEY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
GETTING CRUMBLEY AN
EDUCATION.
IN THIS CASE IT WOULD BE THE
JAIL.
HOWEVER, THE JUDGE SAYS
PROSECUTORS AND DEFENSE
ATTORNEYS ARE NOW WORKING
TOGETHER ON THE ISSUE.
CRUMBLEY WILL BE PRESENTED
SEVERAL OPTIONS, INCLUDING
TAKING CLASSES ON-LINE.
THE JUDGE TODAY SAID IT’S
GOING TO BE 30 DAYS FROM NOW
