Millipede with more legs than any known animal discovered in Australia

Scientists in Australia have discovered an elongated millipede with more legs than any other known animal.

The pale-coloured millipede has more than 1,300 legs in an elongated body about 95mm long.

The creature has been named Eumillipes Persephone, and was found almost 60 metres (200ft) underground in a mining region in Western Australia.

The previous record-holder was a California millipede species with 750 legs.

I think all these events happened on the same day? teacher finds note -> bring parents to school -> parents leave kid at school -> shooting & dad finds gun is missing at home

That´s how the timeline sounds to me:
Days before the fatal shooting:
- Parents buy the gun as christmas present (but likely keep it for themselves still (as it isn't christmas yet)
- Mom goes to a shooting range so her son can try out the gun
- Son googles for ammunition (parents get alarmed by the school first), mother tells (or texts) her son thet she isn't mad at him, but next time he should be careful to not get caught

Then on the day of the shooting:
- Son creates the drawing that gets noticed by the teacher
- Parents get summoned to school because of this, refuse to take their son with them back home and also don't search his backpack in order to make certain that he hasn't the gun with him
- Shooting happens
- When hearing about the shooting in the news, mom texts son, not to do it
- Likewise around this time the father checks for the gun (and maybe ammunition) and calls the police to report it missing

The only thing that mattered was their irresponsible behavior by leaving weapon and ammo in easy to reach locations, so any member of the household could grab them both

It wasn't just left it was gifted, no? When they knew he had fantasised about shooting up a school? Unless I misheard a news report that said that, or it was being economical with truth.

Enablement, verging on telling the kid to plain do it. If the case.

[SlowwHand]

Legally, it does matter.

But would those charges make sense if the shooter happened to be 18?

Yes.

Seems like the parents left weapon and ammunition both together at easy to reach places, so anyone (not only the owner of the gun) was able to get both, weapons and ammo, and use them for crimes.

I don't think that it would have mattered if the kid had been 18.
I don't even think that it would have mattered whether or not the kid was in a parent-child relationship with the couple.

[SlowwHand]

No, in answer to a hypothetical situation.
