The oxford parents remind me of the ones in the Tristan Jensen case

[tenderfoot]

In September 1998, city workers were clearing a clogged sewer and found the source of the blockage to be skeletal remains. Initially, the bones were thought to be fake or placed there as a prank, but investigators quickly discovered them to be those of Tristan, who went missing seven weeks earlier.

Investigators and city workers followed the trail of bones up the sewer system and found the body was dropped down a manhole located on a cul de sac, where the backyard of 15-year-old J.P. Remsen faced. Their interviews eventually led them to J.P., a Redlands High School student known for bullying.

A Very Strange Family

The police went to J.P.’s home to speak with him again. When they arrived, they could see a box of knives sitting in the doorway.

J.P.’s dad answered the door, and told them that J.P. would be home from school later on. When the police returned, the box of knives were gone.

J.P. was only 15 years old at the time, but he was about 6’0,” and 270 pounds. The police asked him about Tristan, and J.P. said he didn’t know Tristan.

The police didn’t have many questions for J.P., but they did question the neighbors about the Remsen family. They discovered that Mr. Remsen built fireworks in the garage, even though it was illegal in Redlands, California.

The police also contacted the local high school, and discovered that J.P. did know Tristan. They had a dispute at school just a few weeks before Tristan was killed.

An Explosive Discovery

The police obtained a warrant to search the Remsen home. J.P. was becoming their primary person of interest.

When the police were inside the home, they found several blood stains. However, their search came to an abrupt end when some investigators found explosive devices in the Remsen garage and kitchen. In fact, they later said that they found about 1,000 pounds of explosive devices. A bomb squad had to be brought in twice, and a hole had to be dug, so that they could deactivate these devices.

J.P.’s parents John and Susan were taken into custody. They were charged with explosives, child endangerment and on automatic weapons charges.

Once the devices were all found and taken out of the house, the police were finally able to do a proper search. Inside the Remsen home, the police found a trail of blood leading from the stairs to the garage. There were several blood stains in the garage, that the police didn’t even need to use luminol or any chemicals. The evidence suggested that a beating or stabbing had been done, and that no one had tried to clean up any evidence.

1. If more parents were held accountable to their kids' bad behavior...

Things might improve. Starting with issues much below shooting up a school. Maybe if their kids were shoplifting or bullying. Parents need to be held accountable for their kids' illegal behavior. I would have expected nothing less in raising my son.

2. What we need to do is increase the number of unwanted children

Which the Supreme Court is in the process of.

was not passed on heirs.

3. After reading this whole story, it's clear this killer needs to be in prison until death.

He's totally broken, and not repairable. He has an attempted murder conviction while in prison. Got 10 more years for that.
He also got into trouble after the prison found syringes in his mail. Got 4 more years for that.

He never had a chance with those fucked up parents, either.

Terrible. Two young lives destroyed.

5. They are the Crumbley parents or terrorist murderer enabling parents....

The “Oxford Parents” are the ones mourning the loss of dead and traumatized children in Oxford…
