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:
This is Totally insane and Stupid , Whoever comes up with and agrees with these laws should be fired and thrown out of office as they are not in touch with reality !!!!!!
You can not conteol 15 yr oldas with phones
Over reach , I can see all sorts of problems here.
Good holds parents açcountable for not taking care of their nasty brats.
You can teach them, but you can’t make them follow your teaching, especially when they become teens.
whoever comes up these kind of asinine b******t laws needs to be imprisoned themselves
Does that include children of congressmen and senators? Employees of DOJ? FBI?
Likely f**e
“Everyone write a bill, and whichever one we pull out of the hat goes on the books.” Is how I imagine moronic laws like these exist in the first place. The majority of these career politicians are completely out of touch with reality.
Hell NO. Not until parents once again are allowed to discipline ( SPANK ), an needed. If kids receive no clear limits , no punishment for bad behavior, and teachers cannot make kids behave , using O.M.G. Spanking , then parents HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT THEIR KIDS DO. They don’t deserve to be punished for what the kids do.
