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:
We have a bigger problem with parents that know their kids are thug gang members with guns! And if their kids are comming home with TVs and other items and you know they have no money for,theres more to that too!
Idiotic to say the least. Yes, wel intentioned, but 15 years!?$#%&!@*off with that b******t
Well we certainly don’t want the kids turning out to be like Anthony Weiner do we?
there won’t be any parents left
It’s past time for the juror to stand up to this kind of horseshit and hang the juries repeatedly.
Maybe more parents should get fined as well…?
