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:
Assinine
BS. Lies
What about Bill and Hillary?
That’s complete horse$#%&!@*!!! You can barely make a teenager go do school much less home work !!! Schools have brainwashed the little morons !!!! Your communist laws are gonna stop !!!

Are you kidding me? The schools encourage immoral behavior, then they want to punish parents. I believe sometimes parents behave egregiously and should be punished. However, teenagers are sneaky and sometimes they do things in spite of good parenting. Those parents should not be punished and there is no one I want making those kinds of decisions!
Exactly, why are media and schools sexualizing our kids from every angle younger, and younger, witness NAMBLA, and LGBTQ… movements, California lowering the age of consent to practically legalize child prostitution. Now they want to think dropping a hammer on parents is going to make a dent? Yea right.
Hold on…..they can fat abortions no parents consent needed, they can change genders no consent required and yet they better not.sext. okay.
That’s worse than stupid. It’s also unjust.
OK how about congress?
