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:
F**k big government
What about cyber-bullying?
The lefts were the only ones that didn’t vote yes on this bill only two Republicans voted against the bill 52 democrates voted against it
The problem I have with this is, The government wont let parents discipline their kids. If you do the CPS will step in, and a parent can be arrested. So they won’t let parents be parents, and puts them in no win situation. If you take away a kids phone, you’re abusive, if you take them to church, you’re abusive, God forbid you spank a child you’ll go to jail. Now they want to hold parents accountable? Does anyone else have a problem with this??
How many dems are in the house? 0ver half voted for it….
Maybe Weiners Wife ( remember her ?) should go to jail for him sexting teenage girls – this is a bad rabbit hole to be going down!!!
This is f**e right? I mean, yes parents need to be more responsible for their kids.. but damn.. guess the only safe solution is locking your child up until their 18th birthday, no phone, no going out, hell.. have to home school them
More b******t government involvement, and 15 years in prison this is just fucked up. So what about parents of teenage thugs and murderers are these parents gunna get some prison time to??? Beyond ridiculous.
This is f**e news. HR 1761 does not say that..here is a link to the actual bill https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/115/hr1761/text
Big brother Nazism of this is real.
