    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.

    Yes! If a parent raises their children like they are suppose to then there is no reson for their child or children to act up!

    God is an influence on your life. yet he does not hold himself responsible for your actions. a parent can only point out the right choice and if it is not chosen give the right punishment. i think in no way are they responsible for a childs actions as mine are not responsible for my own.

    ayoyo, i'm very2 surprised with this motion lah... sorry2 this is my 1st time type in english word. i'm a bunggali. hmm, i really agree that parents should be blame because of their children crimes. i think parent should teach their children moral's value. so that he won't go to hell like all my friend go.... i think it wise if parents give their children a lesson if their children commit crime whether break the school laws or nations.. ok,ok i need to see my son now....no need to miss me...bye",)

    I think that parents should be responsible for their kids actions. Being a parent is a mayjor responsibility."Kids should be able to make their own decisions". then why cant we vote or smoke or drink until we are legally an adult. Parents arent going to be with their kids 100% of the time but my mom has taught me right from wrong. A girl i go to school with died because she was going 105 miles an hour with 3 other people in the car... she had been drinking and lost controll and crashed. She killed 2 people and made the other one mentally handicaped. So who pays for that kids doctors bills....
