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:
AMEN LONNIE HILL….PERHAPS ADD THE PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION TO THAT LIST…..
I don’t think this would be fair. Kids are kids and sometimes parents can’t know everything.
that must be a privledge reserved to the house of representatives and senate
Would you complain if a pedophile saved your life on the battlefield?
Then I think parents should take their phones.
first start with them,,,,,,and then we’ll see about everyone else
In today’s world you can not control what your kids are doing on the world net you can only teach what is right and hope
That’s BULL c**p
Kids will do what they will do.They will sneak behind the parents backs.
What about the kids who commit crimes?
