    Question: Are parents responsible for kid's actions?

    Answer: According to Arizona law, a parent or legal guardian of a person who is under 18 years of age shall exercise reasonable care, supervision, protection and control over the minor child. Parents can be held responsible for some of the children's actions. They may be ordered to pay money to victims of their children's offenses. It depends on what the actions are and if they violate laws.

    How can parents be held responsible for their childrens actions? a parent cannot always control what their child does. if i chose to stand up and throw this computer against a wall(i would never do so) there's nothing my mom could do to stop me. she could punish me after i've done it, but she cannot stop me from doing it. so no, parents cannot and should not be held responsible for their childrens actions.
