Should Parents be Liable for Child’s Behavior? 

Should the parents of juvenile delinquents be locked up too? I’m Tomi Lahren, more next.  When you hear of juveniles behaving badly or criminally, it’s not uncommon to wonder about their parenting or lack thereof. Well a new law passed this summer in Gloucester Township, New Jersey is taking the concept to new heights. It’s called “Minors and Parent Responsibility” and states that parents will be held “accountable for public disturbances caused by” their child, AND could go to jail for 3 months if their offspring are found guilty of multiple offenses. The law is reportedly in response to a massive teen brawl that broke out in the township last year.  The offenses covered under this law range from “destruction of playground equipment” to “loitering.” A child would have to be found guilty repeatedly in juvenile court before their parent or guardian could face 90 days in prison and/or a fine up to $2 thousand bucks.  This might be a bit radical, but it’s sure to have parents a lot more aware of their child’s antics! I'm not against it.
