It’s no secret that teens break the law, thinking they’re basically

invincible. They engage in underage drinking, vandalism, also possession,

and under the influence, of drugs. But then some young people commit

much bigger crimes – felonies such as breaking and entering into a

house, grand theft auto, even murder, and rape. Children of all ages

are capable of breaking the law, but it can be speculated that

adolescents tend to break the law more.

 Should Parents Be Responsible for the
Crimes of Their Children?
- Writer’s Position :

Parents Are Not Guilty!

Unless the parent assisted in helping the child commit the crime –underage drinking
drug usage, for example – the adult should never be held responsible for the child’s
actions. If a kid gets in trouble, it’s easy to blame the parents, attribute the mishap to
how they were raised, the kind of family they were born to.

But that is what is wrong with this country: no one takes responsibility for their
own actions, especially if they’re minors. It’s a major problem. This way, people
become adults never being accountable for anything – they just blame it on
someone else. This isn’t the way to go; all it does is condition someone that they
are not going to face consequences when the do wrong.

- My Group Position :

A child's actions are a direct result of the child's parents. I believe if a child commits
a crime, the parents are responsible financial and legally. Usually child's action build
up to the point of a crime, parents should stop and step in before the police and
justice system step in.If parents are acting irresponsible in front of their kids then the
kids will think its okay. So all they have to do is act responsible and be a good
example it really isn't that hard. The only reason they would not be a good example
would be if their parents acted bad?

Children are a product of the environment in which they are raised. Parents
should bear some responsibility for the kind of person they unleash into the
world. A lot of crimes would be diminished if the child's home life were
intact.

Single-parent homes are often the beginning of a child's potential for

committing crimes. A family must have a Father and Mother to best impart a
full set of values in the child's mind.

This begins with two responsible adults deciding when (and if) to have children
and raise them properly in a family environment. If this is absent, the child will
have its values and ethics instilled by pop culture and the average lost soul in the
streets. This is a recipe for criminal behavior. Parents should bear some of the
blame for this.Parents should be held responsible for what their children do.
 Should Parents Be Responsible for the
Crimes of Their Children?
Parents are the legal guardians of their children, and they need to be responsible
with them. If a child does something very bad, their parents need to be held
accountable for how their raised their children. This is the only way to keep
everyone safe.
