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:
The bill was introduced by a republican, Frankie.
Bs
It’s not a law. And Congress isn’t exempt.
Not gonna happen please stop these b******t feeds….
Great idea, if good parents were allowed to raise Thier kids without the threat of govt intervention , maybe this wouldn’t be a problem.
What punishment is Congress going to get for “SEXTING”????? OR HAVING SEX WITH MINORS???? OR CHEATING ON THEIR WIVES WITH MEN???? AMERICA WANTS TO KNOW!!!
Obviously not one of you actually read what this is all about because you’re blaming the Socialist Democrats! Who were actually against this bill which is proposed! This is a f**e clickbait site that gives you f**e news!
Rep. Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) introduced the bill in March and was passed last week by the House of Representatives by an overwhelming majority. The bill was opposed by only 53 Democrats and 2 Republicans, Rep Justin Amash from Michigan and Thomas Massie of Kentucky. Parents under this bill will face a 15-year mandatory minimum sentence if their children get caught “sexting”.
