Are parents responsible for the actions of their teenagers? The United States House of Representatives passed a bill to criminalize teenage “sexting”. However, it’s not just the teenagers being held accountable, it’s also the parents.
The idea of parents not being responsible for making sure their minor children make smart choices is commonplace. Children throwing tantrums in stores are handed smartphones to play with instead of disciplined and teenagers free reign to take advantage of the pop culture idea that kids will inevitably be kids. But, kids shouldn’t be sexualized and that’s exactly what this same Hollywood culture installs into the younger generations as being normal and cool. This is contrasted with the fact a parent might very well have no idea their child is “sexting” without invading their privacy and runs contrary to the idea teenagers should be responsible and treated like young adults.
There is a mandatory sentence parents will be slapped with if the government finds out your teenage is “sexting”, all on the next page:
Blow their damn skulls od thier shoulders try and take my kid!!
Government overreach.
But it’s ok to give your 8 year old child hormone treatments
Literally the dumbest thing I’ve read today and I’ve read a lot of idiotic liberal comments. A republican owned congress continues to not do what a republican owned congress should be doing. Instead the inject government further into our lives and stand idle when it comes this issues that really matter st this moment. Get a fucking grip!

yeah right, start a war with the entire family population of the USA.
The only way to even slow it down is to make smartphones illegal til age 21.
Every. Time.
Parents should do time with kids for the crimes the kid commits.. parents should pay just as much back in time as the kid. They failed as parents, and if there are consequences fewer might have kids.
What law says you can’t whip a child?
