Are parents responsible for the actions of their teenagers? The United States House of Representatives passed a bill to criminalize teenage “sexting”. However, it’s not just the teenagers being held accountable, it’s also the parents.
The idea of parents not being responsible for making sure their minor children make smart choices is commonplace. Children throwing tantrums in stores are handed smartphones to play with instead of disciplined and teenagers free reign to take advantage of the pop culture idea that kids will inevitably be kids. But, kids shouldn’t be sexualized and that’s exactly what this same Hollywood culture installs into the younger generations as being normal and cool. This is contrasted with the fact a parent might very well have no idea their child is “sexting” without invading their privacy and runs contrary to the idea teenagers should be responsible and treated like young adults.
There is a mandatory sentence parents will be slapped with if the government finds out your teenage is “sexting”, all on the next page:
FEMA camps.
This cant be true. A branch of the government just gave a couple 1
5 million for their criminal dead son. And they beg looting and damage to anyone that got in the way.
F**e
It sounds like it BS
wait until they find out democrats kids sext 4 X more than republican kids do .
how stupid is this law… rapists get out in two years and in some cases move in next soor to their victoms. are all parents grear parents, no . sending parents to jail for not being responsible about phone activity should get them banned from cell phone useage… that would really hurt!
WTF???
Don’t completely agree with this. Teens are going to do what their peers lead them to do, but their parents need to be involved with what they are up to. You see the government is a lot to blame, because they have taken a lot of parents rights away. I am not talking abuse, but my kids threatened to call child welfare if they were even grounded. It didn’t work with me, but it didn’t stop them from trying, and unfortunately there are many parents who are too frightened to say no. You as a government did this!
Now that’s not going to work
Just their way of trying to take parents out of the picture so government can have total control over the children its to control the future.
