Obviously, parent's can't control their kids every move but if they can be held accountable for the kid attending school (or not attending), it's interesting that they're not held accountable when the kid commits a crime.
idk, just a spark of thought.
That is a legitimate question. Why are parents responsible for civil crimes a child commits at that age (parents get sued all the time for shit their kids do) but they aren't held accountable for criminal charges?
Where is that sexy young thing that was going to law school? Ari Gold, we need you!
