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:
No they are not adults until 18, even then they still don’t get it until they have to take care of themselves and no parents bailing them out all the time!
I agree Eric
Best thing I heard on FB in a long time!
Sounds like click bait and F**e news haha..
Sounds like click bait and f**e news to me!!
Tha government should be held accountable, because they have taken away the rights of the parent to raise their children, example: take a smart phone away from a kid and that is child abuse
So…The school gives them tablets and Android phones, free internet and it’s all the parents fault?
Government overstepping as usual
Parents take your kids phones
Yes…i would check my kids phones every day. They would lose their phones for less then that
