    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.

    Scince the 17 year-old is still not considered an adult by law, yes, I think the parents should be responsible for their child. In addition, most apartments don't allow people under age 18 to reside in their building. Any time you need help, Sammi- Minnesota

    It depends on what the parent did. If the parent abused their chid, yes. If they yelled at their child that's a totally different solution, no. Again, if you need help, I'm here. Sammi =)
