[QUOTE="laborer, post: 87479, member: 1086"] I'm just an amateur but I found these articles about Parental accountability.... The U.S. law There is a political movement for greater parental accountability following of a number of highly publicised violent crimes committed by children. While all US states allow parents to be sued for the various actions of their children, the idea of criminal legislation to enable the prosecution of adults for “neglectful” parenting is relatively new. For example, a number of states have enacted or proposed laws that will: * automatically hold parents financially responsible for all expenses associated with a second false bomb threat or 911 call made by a child; * impose a prison term of up to 18 months and order payment of restitution to any victims if the child commits a serious crime; * imposes a fine and/or a prison term if a child uses a gun owned by the parent to commit a crime * fine and/or imprison parents whose children fail to attend school or skip school more than 10 times in a year.
