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.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING? PARENTS SHOULD NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CHILDREN'S ACTIONS. IT WAS THE CHILD WHO DID THE CRIME, NOT THE PARENT. WHAT GOOD WILL IT DO IF YOU PUNISH THE PARENTS FOR A CHILD WHO COMMITED TRUENCY? NOTHING! IT WAS THE CHILD'S DECISION TO SKIP SCHOOL IN THE FIRST PLACE, NOT THE PARENTS. GET IT THROUGH YOUR MINDS PEOPLE!!!

if the paretn was negligant, then yes. if not, then no, the parent shouldnt be responsible. but parents should be more accountable for there actions towards children. i bet most juvenile crime is a result of negligant or abusive parenting.

So your saying that if a teen who is 13 gets a hold of a gun from someone he knows and blows off a kids head for dissing him your saying that the parents should be held responsible the kid knows what he's doing he pulled out he gun he pointed it and pulled the trigger you can't hold parents responsible for that

Being dead would not be any better, trust me. I have had a lot of prolems in my life too. My parents divorced when I was 12 and I had to take care of my four younger siblings all growing up. I missed out a lot on my childhood, but I don't let that stop me. Don't let anything get in the way of your dreams! You can do anything you want to! You can accomplish anything that you put your mind to! You have to believe in yourself!
