Some say that parents of young criminals should be punished. Others say their child's crime is not their fault. What do you think?
When kids do things that are wrong, their parents normally get angry. But they usually don't get sentenced or fined themselves. Until now! Today, more than 35 states have laws holding parents legally responsible for their children's actions. In California, parents can be forced to pay up to $25,000 to cover the cost of property damage their children cause. In Oregon, parents can be fined up to $1000 or be ordered to attend parenting classes if their kids commit juvenile crimes. Some states are even cutting welfare payments if their children miss school regularly. But many people think these policies are terrible. They say parents have some responsibilities, but that the only person to blame for a crime is a criminal. They also say that the laws send a bad message to kids-it tells them that they aren't responsible for their own actions. What do you think? When teens commit crimes, should their parents do the time?
Yes Opinion
Kids don't just end up bad. They become criminals because no one has taught them right from wrong. Sure, there are lots of things that affect kids. Schools, friends, society-all of these contribute to how a kid behaves. But no one affects kids'actions more than parents. If a kid ends up a criminal,the parents are partially responsible.And they should be punished.

This is ridiculous! Sure, it's important for parents to raise their kids right. But at a certain point all people have to take responsibility for their own actions. When kids commit crimes, they're responsible, not their parents. Anyway, parents don't always have as much control as you'd think. Good parents can end up with a bad kid.They shouldn't be punished for that. It's not their fault.
Your turn!
Talk About It: What do you think? Tell why it would be a good rule. Tell why it would be a bad rule.
