As long as that child is under 18, the parents are responsible for what the kid does.
And to answer the question of Indian Princess...If I thought something was going on at a freind's hosue I would NOT let my child be there. Rather safe thatn sorry. Same about the TV and cable. If you can't be there seeing what the kid is doing, then he should not have a TV or cable.
I feel(this is my OPINION) that if your kids respect you and you have instilled a bit of fear in them, they are not going to cross you for fear of the consequences. Kids need to know there are consequences for their actions.

I agree with you about the the consequences and that is how I grew up it was if you mess up/lie ect you will lose our trust which means priviledges as well.. As for the kid going to a freinds "of course" if a parent knows that is not a good environment they should not let them go.. I am not disagreeing with any of the parents being responsible for their children and teaching them right from wrong and yes instilling a bit of fear although I've been told that is wrong I still believe in it... What NO ONE is addressing is that SH!T happens and kids do things... No one is perfect and although the parents are responsible, I've seen many shake their head and cry over something that the child did that was completely out of character for that family and the teachings.. That is all I'm trying to get across...

flowerforyou I am sorry. I misunderstood what you were saying before. I agree with you. I just get so sick of parents around here blaming everyone other than themselves for what their kids do! We had a 16 year old stab another kid the other day over a $1 Mc Donald's burger. and the parents had no idea there was anything wrong with their son even though he was on antipsychotic meds and had done this before.....makes me want to smack the parents!

No worries, I started to get upset and then realized in saying things in the short version trying to not write a novella, I wasn't really clearly stating everything..

I do agree with you and I agree with RT and a lot of others... And yes there are parents I'd love to smack to and some that just shouldn't be allowed to have kids... flowerforyou

after trying to imitate a dangerous move they saw in a movie, like Jackas$ for example. Who should be held responsible?


them selves

If they're stupid enough to try a dumb stunt, they are stupid enough to suffer the consequences.
