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:
But it’s ok to let your son wear makeup…
Stupid Congress as usual. They will not prosecute Clinton or Obama but they will jail parents for their children’s sexting. This law is of course for ordinary citizens only. Congress is exempt.
Be smart parents, don’t get your kid a cell phone until they are 18 or monitor them daily
That’s rediculis. I agree parents should be in their children’s life aand plant the seeds of success but none of us have control over another human being. More propaganda from the Democrats to control everyone and everything. It’s all part of their New world order. Disgusting disgraceful anti-American twisted liberal socialists Democrats. God bless America and God bless our President Donald J Trump
Oh are we making more rules for the populace to seize and own more of us I can’t wait to see these asses behind bars,it’s more than time they be held accountable and I am referring to the so called elected that need to be jailed. Drain the swamp! Stop the damn commies in us government now
Oh but ,they can molest our children ..I wished the government would get the hell out of our lives ..
That will help, lock up the parents so there will be no guidance in the home. SMFH
This seems counter productive. So, basically you have children not being properly parented, and the solution is take away the parents?
Under the age of 16. I agree. Kids don’t need sex or cell phones.
I’m a Trump fan too but you saying you don’t have control of your kids is a yuge national problem.
