RE: Should Parents be Liable?

in Reflections15 days ago

I'm going for yes, with how many parents these days let their child in front of the monitor all day instead of actually spending time with their children (I know of some parents whose children know how to use smartphones before they even learn ABC). Because if they do, parents may be able to notice the change in their child's behavior better, though I also understand that there may be other circumstances why parents can't spend more time with their child, even if they want to, such as with their finances. So, if parents are punished, children also need to be punished, being the culprit, otherwise, they would not know that they did something wrong. But then, if they became like that because of their family situation, I do not know if they will stop doing wrong things unless something changes in their family otherwise.

It is so common now. That definitely wasn't the case with my daughter :)

And there is also the risk that kids will do it to punish their parents.

I know. It's in the blockchain :), and I also know of people who are very hands-on in taking care of their children.

And there is also the risk that kids will do it to punish their parents.

Maybe it's the only thing that the kid knows to get their parents' attention, but if they continue to be ignored, it may turn to kids getting revenge.
