    you are responsible/accountable for the actions of your child at all times, whether you are watching them or not. It’s part of being a parent.

    Criminally liable? That’s insane.

    Raising your children not to be little sociopaths who can eventually be trusted as adults, is a major part of parenting.

    Parents have limited control of that. Children are not remote controlled robots, they’re their own people, and some of them are shit, no matter what you do.

    Let me ask you: Should parents be responsible for damage done by their child?

    If you can demonstrate a pattern of bad parenting, sure.

      So, if a teen takes their mom’s keys, and drives her car into your parked car, should you be on the hook for the damages to your vehicle? Should you be on the hook for the damages to her vehicle? Especially if it’s a first time offense?

          Gotcha. So if it is the first time, or maybe the second time, fuck you, pay for the damage someone else did to your car and their own car. Maybe on the 4th or 5th time, we can start getting the teen’s parents to pay for it?
