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:
Yes
NO! We need less government not more.
To think there was a time that 15-16 year olds got married. My Grandparents are part of that generation and married legally at those ages and are still happily married to this day.
Ok senator your kids are sexting and doing drugs oh . So are you also these laws go for you too
Libtard logic.
Yet… Most of Congress are pedophiles! Do figure
they were a totally different bred than, more mature and responsible… gov’t needs to let parents deal with their kids..
This is so absurd. I’ll make sure he sells crack instead to avoid the jailtime.
Government is largely responsible for this mess! In this state your child doesn’t even have to live with you once he turns twelve! You may be the most wonderful parent on earth doing everything precisely as the authorities want—still doesn’t have to live with you!
F**e news!
