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:
I think our entire moral and ethics systems need to be re-looked and re-built. Congress is trying to dump gasoline on a blazing fire already.
Those laws are before the Feds also. The goal is to change all states’ laws, to requiring a person be at least 18, in order to marry.
Children’s behavior is a reflection of parenting (excluding mental conditions). Too many parents have let TV, video games, phones, lap tops, & other tech raise their children. In some cases, parents expect the schools to teach the things which should be taught at home. There is less human interaction between families, than there was a generation or two ago. Parents used to have to teach their children the difference between right & wrong, and about modesty, self respect, self worth, dignity, etc. If you have a child/children, you should be responsible for them. If you have a vehicle, you’re responsible if the vehicle is in an accident. If you have a pet, you’re responsible for its actions. A child holds more emotional value than those things, so why are parents trying to deny responsibility? If you don’t want to be responsible for a child, don’t have children.
You stupid fools you let the schools teach all this c**p and you blame the parents we should blame the government that is the one to blame
…..But they are not doing it.
The federal government shouldn’t control our lives
