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.

On 02/10/05 gigi from FL said: I honesty don't believe parents should be held responsible for their kids actions because everyone is responsible for their own actions. Not to mention that the majority of teenagers know the difference between good or bad whether they have parents or not. A parent can only give advice to their kids and it's up to them whether they want to take it or not.
