IMHO, it seems fair. She's responsible for her bad parenting, and should suffer the consequences, legal and/or social, depending on the context. But she cannot be responsible for the shooting, that would be too much of a stretch, and unfair, because people have free will. No matter what he's endured, the child still made the decision to shoot innocent people, and he should have known better.

Which is why involuntary manslaughter fits. She didn't willingly want this to happen nor was she directly responsible. But her indirect actions and negligence makes her liable which 100% fits the Michigan criminal code for this charge. The sad part is most likely she will be out on parole within 10 years.
