After the convictions of the Crumbleys, the first parents in U.S. history to be convicted of involuntary manslaughter for a mass shooting committed by their child, other states are proposing legislation to hold parents responsible for their children's crimes. In Tennessee for example, lawmakers recently introduced a bill that would fine parents up to $1,000 if a child commits more than one criminal offense. Do you approve of such legislation?

I think that parents should be held responsible if they knowingly allow their children to handle guns, bring guns with them at any time, or ignore signs of planned murder. |
Parents need to take responsibility and be actively involved in their child's life. Children need rules and guidance. If they don't get it...they may choose to do the wrong thing. |
In addition to a monetary fine, they should be required to take classes WITH their children to deter such action/behavior in the future. Or perform community service WITH their children. Both of these will make them take the laws more seriously. |
Parents are not always able to control what their child does. I have witnessed wonderful parents who have had a child commit crimes not due to poor parenting. |
Parents can be required to respond to treatment for the child who acts criminally. |
Parents need to be responsible. I dealt with this many times as a Principal. Many shootings etc could have been avoided if parents were responsible and did their job. Increase programs for mental health and provide them. |
Parents need to be held accountable for their minor children. |
Parents should be held responsible if there is gross negligence, such as ready access to unlocked weapons. Sometimes, circumstances may be beyond parental control. |
