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:
The.aclu.will demand children’s rights to be used to Anul that law
Stupid as well as unconstitutional
Yet you’re commenting on Facebook….
again, don’t ask just how stupid can people get
They won’t close the borders to our country to protect the citizens, but they will put the citizens in jail, for their children sexting? You’re all a bunch of idiots
But with electronics, you can.
OH that’s BS!
Ridiculous. So why do schools teach kids 4 homosexual sex, how to use condoms, and so on…
good point
This is ridiculous.
