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:
Too much government intrusion into our private lives. Parents are capable of monitoring their own kids without big brothers help. Kids will be kids, you have to keep one eye in them al the time…that is what being a parent means.
Stop providing cell phones to kids that would help. I had a phone at 15 but I paid for mine
Get rid of the Democrats and liberals first
If you aren’t allowed to punish children in a meaningful way, aren’t allowed to set rules and standards for behavior, aren’t allowed to remove offending devices from or prevent children from having access to, and aren’t allowed to monitor usage then you may not punish parents. It is NOT your job to parent. It IS your job to encourage and support parental rights.
Then they can be put in state care and be gender confused.
Being a parent is about raising children who can be trusted ‘out-of-sight’ by having the right to set and enforce rules for behavior. Otherwise they are only well behaved when monitored.
Now Congress needs to also pass a bill that ALL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES THAT PASS UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAWS AND COMMITS PERJURY TO TJEIR OATH PF OFFICE MUST FACE THE DEATH PENALTY!!!
AS WELL AS THE DEAT PENALTY FOR ALL OF THEIR OFFSPING!!!
After all, Traitorous parents just raise younger Traitors!!!
This is ridiculous, kids will brake the rules and sneak behind parents backs because they are curious! Young and dumb! The law has no business to punish parents!
They are setting us all up on purpose..!!!
The kids know what they are doing, so jail their asses they know they are under age.
