A young boy around the age of 15 strangled a fellow classmate Autumn Pasquale who was 12 in Clayton, New Jersey. Although the death hit the father hard his attorney pushed him to press charges against the parents of the young man as well as they young man himself. The lawyer's reasoning in in her statement, " If you're going to raise a murderer, you're going to take responsibilities." The single mother of the murderer makes her case against these allegations by saying it was the school system's fault since her child was a special education child with learning abilities and other mental disabilities that didn't allow him to interact as well as other people. Justin had a certain reputation with the school kids of being that kid that would steal things such as bikes or food from stores or his friends. This issue is very controversial because it delves into the ideas of how parenting should be and how much influence parents exhibit of their children.
