Parental Responsibility
Parental Responsibility
If society holds parents responsible when their children break laws, the children may never learn right from wrong. On the contrary, if a parent cannot be punished, they may not care as much about the way their children act or the ways in which they raise them. In some cities, parents can be fined if their child is caught doing something illegal. However, if those parents agree to attend parenting classes they can avoid the fine. This option makes the most sense to me because you really are getting the best of both worlds. The parents will be attending parenting classes to help them learn how to raise their children better, and then they will use what they learned on their children to make them grow up to be lawabiding citizens. If children today grow up thinking that it is okay to not follow the laws, I believe that as they get older they will keep the same mindset. Children need to be taught right from wrong from the beginning, no excuses. I am a firm believer that, most of the time, the way a child acts has something to do with the way they were raised or the people that influenced them while they were growing up. The problem starts with the parenting, and parents need to take action. If a child is raised knowing what is right and what is wrong, they will use their knowledge throughout their whole life and will eventually raise their children better, too.
Children nowadays are proven to be more violent that in past generations. According to the National Crime Prevention Council, teens are now more likely to be victims of violent crimes than adults over twentyfive (Strategy). The first thing we need to know is the reason that kids are becoming more violent these days. Is it because of the way they were raised? Are children that were abused growing
up more likely to become violent as they age? According to one child advocacy group, Love Our Children USA, “There is a definite correlation between domestic violence and child abuse.
