I do not think parents should be legally responsible for their child's behavior, but parents do have a huge impact on their attitude and behavior.

Madi Snyder 6B

1/31/2024 10:30:07 am

Well, I feel like at a certain age they shouldn't be responsible, but if a baby is misbehaving you have to consider the fact that they are little and their brains are not fully developed.

T Samuels 6b

2/1/2024 05:30:51 pm

I agree with you because after a certain age parents shouldn’t be legally responsible since they are at the age where they should know better.

C Cofield 3A

2/2/2024 06:40:29 pm

I would 100 percent agree with you on this point of view mostly because they mean no harm. They aren’t even sure of their actions most of the times.

Diaz z 1 A

2/5/2024 09:01:38 am

I agree , there should be age limits to when the parents get punished because in reality after a while the child has thoughts of it’s own

D.mims 1a

i agree parents do in fact impact they kids attitude and behavior.

a bethany 7b

I agree also, most children get traits from their parents thay builds their character.

M Fairley 6B

1/31/2024 11:03:52 am

I agree with the sentiment that parents do have a large influence on a child's behavior. Actually, I decided that I want to change what my original outlook was, and say that I fully agree with you. For smaller issues, maybe the parent could deal with it. For larger issues like assault and drug use, I believe that should be on the kid. The child did it, and the child needs to go through everything needed to fix the situation both for themself and those affected.

B Jasso 6B

2/2/2024 10:19:46 am

I agree with you because yes parents have a big impact on a child's influence, but it's on the child to make the decisions they make, the parents can't tell him oh hey do this and that, it's on the child to see if the decision is right or not and ten they do it.

C. Deane 6B

1/31/2024 11:38:42 am

I disagree with you because a lot of times the parents are the reason for the things their kids do to get in trouble, but yes there are some things parents just can't control.

T Samuels 6b

2/1/2024 05:34:59 pm

I agree to disagree because most kids know what they are doing and make their own decisions even after they know the consequences.

Nicholas Parker 7B

1/31/2024 12:00:13 pm

I disagree with your comment completely, parents are always responsible for "children"

Diaz Z 1A

2/5/2024 09:02:42 am

I agree , they could be brought up right and still decide to misbehave or do something they shouldn’t be doing.

Shankle,A 1A

1/31/2024 08:36:06 pm

I disagree with you. Parents always taught you scence you were born and you learning from them little by little. There are some parents don't be with there kids and don't really teach them much and its going to be hard for kid to figerout the situation. And the Parents always have a huge impect on their attitude and behavior as you said.

L Vargas 1A

2/1/2024 09:41:21 am

I can disagree with your comment because parents have a big impact on the child's behavior

Natalee Sears 7B

2/2/2024 12:25:26 pm

I agree because no parent should be legally responsible for their child's behavior, but their kids can reflect their parents attitudes.

L Speed 1A

2/2/2024 01:56:06 pm

I agree parents should be responsible for their kid's

C.Ramirez 3A

2/2/2024 05:21:35 pm

I agree that parents do have a huge impact on the decision their kids make. Our parents are responsible for teaching us the right and wrong.

Sanchez 6b

2/2/2024 05:27:05 pm

I agree, with you because once parents reach a certain age, they shouldn't be held legally responsible anymore. At that stage in life, they should definitely know better.

A, Martinez 6B

2/2/2024 08:05:25 pm

I feel that as a child is from the ages of 1-17 the parent should be held liable, but mostly for misdeminors.

A Bethany7b

2/2/2024 08:08:42 pm

Sometimes the way a child behaves is because of the way they grew up, in some situations parents should be responsible.

K Jacinto 3A

2/2/2024 10:08:25 pm

I agree, thought parents can’t control their kid they can surely discipline their kid. But it’s up to the kid if they learn from what the parents is trying to influence them on.

Tyren 4A

1/30/2024 02:40:12 pm

I feel like they should but to a certain extent because you can't always control your children when ever they step out of the house but I feel like simple stuff like manners and home training should be shown by there kids.

C.lott 3A

1/31/2024 08:47:43 am

I agree, because they should already know when they step anywhere outside the house manners should be numer 1. Home training is also key and it shows what youve learned/ taught. Parents play that role cause its their job tommake sure their child knows values and respect

Contreras M 6B

2/2/2024 07:56:56 pm

This is how parents should teach their kids. Parents play such a big role in educating their kids. However its the child's fault if they don't want to listen.

R Arpero 6B

1/31/2024 10:27:27 am

True you cant control your kids outside the house but while they're inside the house you can educate them to provoke such negative actions.

C. Deane 6B

1/31/2024 11:35:51 am

I agree with you on this because I think there is a certain extent to how much you can control but little things like manners go a long way.

D Davis 6B

2/2/2024 10:41:34 am

I agree because most of the time, the way you raise your child is the way they'll turn out. But then again, some people act up around their friends.

Sanchez 6b

2/2/2024 05:28:51 pm

I agree, with you on this because I believe there's a limit to how much control we have, but small gestures like good manners can make a big difference.

A, Martinez 6B

2/2/2024 08:06:31 pm

I agree as parents are not able to be around said child 24/7

C Cofield 3A

2/2/2024 11:28:11 pm

I can wholeheartedly agree with this statement and the reason being is you have no idea what your kid might or might not be doing once they leave out your doors. That being said it wouldn’t be right to the righteous parents and kids who where raised correctly.

J. Kinard (4A)

1/30/2024 02:59:18 pm

I wish this was a good idea. Parents do have a responsibility to their child, and the actions of a child are somewhat influenced by their parents. However, the child is still a human being. They can make decisions regardless of their parents' efforts. Yes, the parents have stake in this, but so does the child.

C.lott 3A

1/31/2024 08:40:35 am

I agree, but you really didnt answer the question the correct way. However, the child is a human being and has a mind of its own. Children are going to make decisions on their own. They may also do what they think is best for them in life.

B Jasso 6B

2/2/2024 10:23:26 am

I agree with you, yes parents have a big influence in the children's life, but in the end the decisions are made by what the children's brain thinks it's right, the parents can't control what the children do, all the decisions and consequences are going to be a part of a child conscience.

R Arpero 6B

1/31/2024 10:29:59 am

Yes, I totally agree, both should get punished for their actions.

Madi Snyder 6B

1/31/2024 10:33:34 am

This is true. A child does make decisions but at the same time you have to remember just because they can make a decision does not mean they need to or are ready to. A parents job is to teach their child, so you could raise the kid to be sweet and nice to everyone, but there is stilling going to be a chance they will change. This also has to do with not just home environment but also their school and friend group. Sometimes people fall into the wrong crowd.

Albiar X 1a

2/1/2024 08:32:46 am

i agree a kid could be raised to be the sweetest person in the world or have very good parents but still could fall into the wrong crowd and mke a bad decision

Natalee Sears 7B

2/2/2024 12:26:48 pm

I agree with this because parents could teach their children the right thing as they grow up, but children can changed and influenced by the things and people around them causing them to act the way they do.

Alynette Delgado 6B

2/2/2024 01:36:50 pm

I agree with this since this is mainly true.

D.mims 1a

1/31/2024 10:42:23 am

yea i do think kids can make they own decision, and they parents should take resopnibility of they kids action.

M Fairley 6B

1/31/2024 11:16:05 am

I agree. The child is grown enough to differentiate between rational and irrational decisions, so to an extent they know what they're doing (unless like, y'know, insanity and stuff but let's exclude that). So, the child should handle what they cause. They know that actions have consequences, so they should deal with that happens.

Nicholas Parker 7B

1/31/2024 11:56:53 am

I agree with your comment but not the end of your comment, parents are always responsible for children.

Nox (Katelyn) Sears 8B

1/31/2024 12:54:31 pm

I agree the parents are somewhat repsonsible, but not really a child has a mind and is able to make decisions on their own.

N. rainey 1a

2/1/2024 10:06:04 am

i agree the chlld is human but when you are brought up the right way the kid will make better decisions than they would if they were not brought up correctly

C.lott 3A

1/31/2024 08:36:54 am

I dont think parents should legally be responsible for their chidlrens behavior, but they play a big role in the house. I feel like the parent should always teach the child right from wrong and how to behave outside the house. Parents should also make sure their child knows respect and how to apply it towards other people.

K Jacinto 3A

2/2/2024 10:12:02 pm

I agree, it’s really up to the kids.

Contreras M 6B

1/31/2024 10:20:12 am

I feel that the parents should not be legally responsible for their children. Even though they are young, kids/teens are old enough to think about their decisions and the action they make. Children need to realize that their actions have consequences.

Alexandra

2/1/2024 08:52:26 am

I agree you can put on a parent for decision that they child that have raised good is making

M. Moore 8b

2/1/2024 10:23:36 am

I somewhat agree, although at a young age children should be held accountable and disciplined for their bad behavior which is what parents should be responsible for.

R Arpero 6B

1/31/2024 10:26:14 am

I believe that parents should be responsible for their child's actions because their actions reflect the amount of discipline and education the parents have applied. A hard working parent gets awarded with an educated child and a lazy parents gets punished with the child that makes negative actions that the parents has allowed them to do.

N rainey 1a

2/1/2024 10:04:31 am

i agree with this because if the parent raise them right then they'd know right from wrong

Madi Snyder 6B

1/31/2024 10:28:32 am

I don't think parents should be held responsible for their child's behavior unless they are under the age of 12. It is a parents job to teach their child how to act, and how to know what is the right thing and wrong thing to do. Most of the time kids will make mistakes thats how they learn, but when your learning you need to know there are consequences to your actions and I feel like the kids should be getting those consequences and not so much the parents.

J Deleon 6B

1/31/2024 12:05:52 pm

I agree because parents are responsible for teaching their kids the right things at an early age however, past like you said 12 the children should be the ones getting the consequences and even i believe that parents shouldn't be looked down upon because of how easily children are influenced.

Nox (Katelyn) Sears 8B

1/31/2024 12:56:09 pm

I agree, parents are supposed to teach a child how to behave and how to act. Mistakes are how we learn. Parents do impact a child's behavior, but they should not be responsible for it.

Albiar X 1a

2/1/2024 08:30:57 am

i can agree with what your saying with the age limit i except i would at least say 14 or 15 plus depending on what they did whether its before or after 12 if its a huge mistake that couldve been prevented i feel parents should be held accountable

D Davis 6B

2/2/2024 10:39:53 am

I agree, parents do have a major impact on how their children behave and so they should have some sort of responsibility for their children.

D.mims 1a

1/31/2024 10:38:56 am

It could go both ways because parents raise their kids a certain way, but also society influence people behavior mostly kids because they are easly influenced.

J Deleon 6B

1/31/2024 12:04:12 pm

I agree because the parents have a responsibility to watch their kids monitor their life and do whats best however, children are very easily influences and i think society can play a huge part on whether a parent is solely responsible for their child's actions.

Shankle, A 1A

1/31/2024 08:27:46 pm

I agreed with you. It can be going on both ways as a parents raise their kids many ways, And they're people that they wanted to fit in with other kids that are cool to them. And teens we wanted to be just like them they are just scare and don't understand what they wanted to be so they show there action more.

James Leslie 1A

2/1/2024 02:10:56 pm

I agree society has a big influnce on kids and people in gneral.Kids are definelty easiky influnced but thats just kids in general thats how they natrullry are

M Fairley 6B

1/31/2024 10:49:26 am

I feel like they should be responsible, at least to an extent. There are cases where the kids are just crazy, no matter what the parent(s) do. In the end, parents do end up having to cover for their child in these cases for the most part anyways. They talk with the other parent of the other victim involved, perhaps they speak with the police and/or pay any possible fines if it's a bigger issue. The parents usually end up being the ones to deal with something their kid did, which ruins it for everyone involved. But I also feel that like, at least for the smaller things, the parent shouldn't be responsible and it's all on the kid. So, I guess I'm saying that it really depends, but mostly the parent should be responsible.

J. RockwellI 3a

2/1/2024 09:40:37 am

this what the fuck i'm talking about

M. Moore 8b

2/1/2024 10:06:47 am

I agree, there's only so much you can do to discipline your child and have them do the right thing. After that it's up to the child to decide.

Smith N 3a

2/2/2024 08:50:02 am

I agree because after a certain age the child is going to have to realize that they are doing it to themselves by themselves

C. Deane 6B

1/31/2024 11:33:31 am

I think that parents are fully responsible for there kids. The parents are the reason they are here, and they are the ones responsible for their actions, if they are in trouble a lot, it's probably because they discipline their kids.

C Da Silva 1A

2/2/2024 08:54:17 am

I think that only applies until a certain age because, some kids might just be trying to actively get in trouble. Some might have been raised well and just decided to act out by choice.

Nicholas Parker 7B

1/31/2024 11:54:14 am

I know that parents are 100% responsible for how their children are raised and how they behave. If they were taught right the children would always act right.

J Deleon 6B

1/31/2024 12:02:36 pm

I believe that parents can be responsible for their child actions but to an extent because children can takes drugs and it be influenced by the parents wherever, when it comes to the consequences the child knowing they are wrong, are in the wrong.

Alexandra

2/1/2024 08:47:08 am

I disagree because a parent can raise there kids right don’t mean they going to make all good decisions

James Leslie 1A

2/1/2024 02:09:15 pm

I agree and disagree with you because sometimes kids taking ddrugs is not an influnce from their parents it could be an influnce from their freinds or mabye a celeberty they look up to.

Smith N 3a

2/2/2024 08:45:47 am

I agree with you saying parents should be responsible for their child's action to a degree because what if they raise their child right but they still end up doing something foul. That should be the parents fault

A,Martinez 7B

2/2/2024 12:43:07 pm

I agree with parents having an influence on their kids, but I disagree that they are the reason they do the things they do. The kids can also be influenced by others as well.

L Vargas 1A

1/31/2024 12:46:32 pm

I think parents are responsible for their children's mistakes and the reason being that if they were to get notified of their child's situation for example a fight they would be the first one's to get notified of the situation.

J. RockwellI 3a

2/1/2024 09:40:15 am

okay your just slow

Shankle,A 1A

1/31/2024 08:22:29 pm

Yes I do agree on it's 100% parents are responsible on their action tours there kids, Parents are raising us until we leave the house. There are many parents don't even pay attention to their own kids. When it comes to their kid is getting lock up from prision for murder its the parents responsible not let their kid being in handcuffs.

C Valdez 1A

2/1/2024 02:39:30 pm

I agree with this in a lot of situations the parents should be held responsible for their parents actions because they have the most impact on their children. If a kid gets locked up in prison at a young age I think it's their parents fault for not raising him right and teaching them what to do and what not to. The only way a parent wouldn't be as responsible is up to a certain age and raised right that the parents shouldn't be held responsible.

Contreras M 6b

2/2/2024 08:26:08 pm

I don't agree with what you say. It is not the parents fault because their kids don't want to listen to them. Of course at some point its the parents fault however not always.

C Da Silva 1A

2/2/2024 08:51:49 am

I disagree because, there is people that don't ever do what they are told. It's the kid that decided to act like that not their parents, so I don't think it's fair for them to get in trouble for that.

T Gray 1A

2/2/2024 02:10:50 pm

I agree because everybody doesn't listen to there parents all the time ad they would just make their own choices.

Albiar X 1a

2/1/2024 08:28:29 am

parents are and should be responsible for their childs actions because they raised them and influence their actions if theyre raised around parents whom did crime or drug abuse themselves then they would be influenced by that not only that every parent should teach their kid right from wrong

Alynette Delgado 6B

2/2/2024 01:34:18 pm

Yeah that makes sense however what id the parents are nice and raised him right but the children was a rebel. that is not the parents faults.

Alexandra

2/1/2024 08:43:12 am

I disagree I feel like the parents have nothing to do with decisions there kids make

George Kessebeh

2/1/2024 02:30:01 pm

I disagree it all comes from home .

Alexandra

2/1/2024 09:08:19 am

I will say I feel it depends on the grade I think after middle school there should not be any homework they not going to do it anyway

J. RockwellI 3a

2/1/2024 09:39:39 am

i think if you are 10+ years or older and you acting like a bad ass little kid and the kid needs to be punished for whatever fuck you think your mom going to do if they can make a law that kids can bitch to the government and they make a law about them kids that are lazy and don't want to help out i'm putting my kid up behind them bars that kid will learn and i think that if you going to act up don't bitch about the shit you get in to.

George Kessebeh

2/1/2024 02:28:37 pm

Facts !!! Jesse lol i agree

N rainey 1a

2/1/2024 10:03:14 am

in the quote i feel parents should be punished as well for what there kid does because kids in the generation are not brought up the right way and that falls on the parent and what they are teaching

D. Costilla 4A

2/2/2024 09:26:24 pm

I think differently. I don't think parents should be punished as well. Because many parents are not at fault for the way their kid acts. Yes, a majority of parents are, but not all of them. It also has to do with what crowd kids want to get associated with, they don't always pick up bad behavior at home, it can also be around the crowd they hang out with. Which sometimes is out of the parents' control.

M. Moore 8b

2/1/2024 10:05:14 am

I feel at a certain age a child is no longer your responsibility, they understand rules and morals, what is right and wrong. However a lot of parents should be held accountable for how they raise their kids. Things like throwing a fit in a store doesn't deserve to go unnoticed.

C Valdez 1A

2/1/2024 02:36:04 pm

I agree I think it depends on the age because it's the parent's responsibility to teach kids at a young age especially because they are still developing and should be responsible for their child. If a child causes a problem because of how they were raised I think it is the parent's responsibility. Once a child reaches a certain age and they were raised well the child should be the one held responsible.

A,Martinez 7B

2/2/2024 12:38:57 pm

I agree that parents should be held accountable for how their kids behave, because it shows a reflection on their parenting skills.

M Johnson 1a

2/2/2024 10:33:26 pm

I agree because at a certain age children know what’s right and what’s wrong

George Kessebeh

2/1/2024 01:35:44 pm

I agree because everything starts from home . Your parents are the base to the problem because they born and raised you your actions reflect back on them .

James Leslie 1A

2/1/2024 02:07:37 pm

I beleive that a parent or parents can only do so much to insure that their child is doing the right thing.Kid are gonna be kids and parents cant stop nor controlll everything that ther child does.

C Valdez 1A

2/1/2024 02:32:59 pm

I don't think parents should be held responsible for large issues and crimes their child has committed because it was the child's choice to do those things especially after a certain age. I think it's the parent's responsibility to fix small issues and continue to teach their kids the right choices. I think if a child commits a crime that their parents couldn't have predicted or helped avoid then the child is fully responsible and it shouldn't get the parents in trouble unless they influence the child negatively,

T Gray 1A

2/2/2024 02:08:31 pm

I agree because you make your own choices and not your parents

T Samuels 6b

2/1/2024 05:37:32 pm

I think parents definitely have a big influence on their kids' behavior, but saying they should be legally responsible for serious crimes like bullying, assault, and drug use might overlook other important factors. Maybe a more comprehensive approach involving teachers, counselors, and other adults could help address these issues better.

R, Brown 7B

2/2/2024 09:40:49 pm

parents do play a major role on their children's development, and upbringing. I do see your view on the fact that parents shouldn't be legally responsible for their children's behavior is it has to deal with such extreme measures.

M Roberson 8B

2/2/2024 10:51:45 pm

I do agree with what you said. With the things you listed above I think that both should be responsible. I do agree with the alternative approaches too.

Smith N 3a

2/2/2024 08:40:39 am

I dont think parents should be legally responsible for their kids actions after a certain age. By the time you turn 13-14 you should know what to do and what not to do

C Da Silva 1A

2/2/2024 08:49:50 am

I don't think parents should be responsible for a crime their child commits. Although parents have a strong influence on how their kid acts, it's still not their fault if their child commits a crime. I think the person should just be held accountable for their own actions.

C.Ramirez 3A

2/2/2024 05:32:54 pm

The way a child is raise will affect them but its up to them what they choose to do with their life. Yes, the parents actions may have a huge influnce on certain behavior and emotions but it wont affect the childs actions. A kid is responsible for choosing right or wrong.

B Jasso 6B

2/2/2024 10:25:12 am

I think parents have a big influence in a child's life, but in the end, the child still has a brain, and whatever decisions they decide to make is on them, if they want to use drugs, or commit assault, that's on them because they're the ones thinking about it. The parents can't decide for them because that's not how the real world works.

L Speed 1A

2/2/2024 02:15:31 pm

I agree parents are big influence in their child life and that's why good parents are good in life

I don't think parents should be held legally responsible for their children unless they're covering for something illegal their child did. Or maybe they should be held responsible until they're like 13. The children are their own people too and make their own decisions and most parents aren't aware of what they're doing.

I don't think they should be legally responsible for the things their kids do, but they do reflect on the attitudes their kids have. Kids most of the time reflect the attitudes their parents have.

Legally, parents aren’t always responsible. It depends on if the parent is suspected or involved. Sometimes they are dragged in, and I feel as though that is unfair.

I agree on the fact that kid's behaviors heavily reflect on the way their parents act as well. For example, if a parent screams or acts out at home, their kid would pick up that behavior and take it to school and think it's okay. Which is why parents need to also set a good example for their kid's as well.

I agree with what u said accept for the attitude part. Sometimes parents teach their children the right thing and the child still does what they want to do.

I think that parents should be held legally to a certain extent, and they certainly have a huge impact on their child's life. Depending on how they raise their children that is how they will behave. Once the said child is old enough to be independent they make their own choices. So they must pay for their own mistakes.

I feel like parents should not be responsible for their children's behaviors, because it is not there faults that they wanted to do that. I the kid is old enough to be dumb they they can be mature to think about the consequences.

Thought it is not the parents fault for what their kid does, they are still held accountable for what they do. They are affected by what their kids do.

Parents should be responsible for their children's behaviors, when it comes to bullying, assault, and drugs.

I feel like that is wrong because your parents cant make your moves for you, you make your own choices.

Parents should be responsible for trying their best to help keep their kids on the right track. However, kids will run into obstacles and make their choices. Parents are there to guide.

While parents are in large part to blame for their own kids behavior, I think their kids are still individuals who should learn consequences for their own actions. A parent teaches their child, they shape them and mold them to be who they are, and while yes they might be the reason behind why a child or young adult might have ended up in the places they have, the blame doesn't not solely fall on them. We are individuals, and as such should be aware that our actions also reflect on our upbringing. People cannot only blame their parents, but they are always going to be part of the problem.

I believe parents shouldn't be held accountable for their child's actions It's the responsibility of parents to guide their children on how to behave and distinguish between right and wrong. Kids often make mistakes as part of their learning process, but it's crucial for them to understand that their actions have consequences. In my opinion, it's the children who should face those consequences, rather than burdening the parents with them.

I would say that most parents try to raise their kids with the most possible care, respect, and support they could provide. That still doesn’t necessarily mean their kids not going hang right group. Parents shouldn’t have to be punished in my opinion.

I think to a certain extent parents should be responsible because most kids turn out a certain way because of how they were raised.

Parents are responsible to teach their children basic manners and social skills if done improperly the child may end up as a "delinquent" hence meaning it is the parents fault, but this could aslo be caused by peer presure or influence.

Your response is definitely aggregable. it is up to the parents to teach their children respect and manners, which a lot of parents fail to do.

M Roberson 8B

I agree with what you said. I do think the way some kids turn out can be a product of how the child was raised. Using that logic kind of agree.

I don't think parents should be legally responsible for their child behavior or what not. But I do think a good parent should work and put effort into getting their child help. And I also believe a child's behavior could greatly be impacted by how involved a parent is in their lives, and how much the parent cares.

Parents should not be legally responsible for their children's behavior after a certain age. When kids are young, I think the parents should be legally responsible for their children because they're in control of their life, and actions. However, once the children get the age where they can make logical decisions for themselves then that's when the parents don't have to be completely responsible for their child's behavior.

It’s an argument that can go both ways. But I’m sticking against the quote. Parents should not be legally responsible for their kids actions. One could have the up most respectful parents, but the kid could be the complete opposite. It’s up to the kid to decide if he wants to make those wrong choices and make his parents look a fool.

I agree, I feel like kids be knowing what they doing, they just don’t think of consequences because they are kids.

I feel like parents should but responsible for there children’s action but at a certain age like 16 or around there they are old enough to know right from wrong so only then the parents shouldn’t be allowed to be responsible.

M Roberson 8B

In my personal opinion the parents should be held accountable for some. I feel like it'll make their children a bit more cautious and aware when there is a consequence behind it. It'll motivate parents to become more involved with their children's day to day activities.

Spencer .S. 1A

2/2/2024 11:17:33 pm

I disagree, how can you think just because a child is getting into things they not supposed to that their parents not involved? A parent can do everything they need to do for their child and the kid still chooses to do the wrong things. If the parent is held accountable for one situation the kid is going to think they can do anything and the parent is going to take the consequences.

Spencer .S. 1A

I disagree, I feel like at a certain age you know right from wrong…you can’t always blame parents for their kids mistakes. You can raise your child right and they choose to make the wrong decision and they think u can get them out that situation when it’s too late and you can’t do nothing about it.

I would say the parents are not responsible for their child’s actions depending on what the situation is because somethings can affect a person’s actions because of experiences they had as children.

I disagree with this statement, after a certain age children/teens have a mind of their own they make their own decisions and choices. We can’t say “this child committed a crime so the parent should get punished “ because that’s not reasonable.
