RE: Should Parents be Liable?

in Reflections • 15 days ago

I want to say just "Yes", but it is a much more complicated answer that I am not entirely sure how to articulate in depth, so here are the "dot points" of my thought on the matter:

  • Overall, yes
  • Children should, however have autonomy
  • They should not have the autonomy to harm others (be it physically or financially)
  • Is the parent to be held liable with what - fines, prison time with their little loin spawn?
  • Will it really stop it from happening again, or just drive the kid to keep doing worse things?
  • What would you do if your child did something really bad and you were held liable?

        Yes, it is more complicated. I wouldn't actively campaign for this as a "yes" answer, but there should be some considerations perhaps.

        What would you do if your child did something really bad and you were held liable?

        Depends on what they did I guess. If they were a school shooter, or was committing home invasions, or stealing cars at 2am at 10 years of age - should take some blame?
