Dankelson considers filing charges against foster parents

The Friday Joplin Globe will focus on Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney Dean Dankelson's consideration of filing charges against Mark and Treva Gordon, the foster parents, whose own son shot foster child Braxton Wooden to death.
The Globe has done an excellent job of following up on this story, showing an apparent rush to judgment from just about everyone involved. The Globe article is written by Jeff Lehr.

Was Braxton's death ruled accidential?

Was teen Gordon aware that playing with guns could result in people dying? Who should really be held responsible, the parents or the teenager. How old was the 'teenager' anyway?
