Do you think parents are responsible for kids' actions today?

partly yes, parents are responsible for kid's behavior today. if at young age parent were able to teach their young kids to respect, love and obey i dont think they can have any problem in the future. the kids will not resort to call any help outside home bcoz they will know that whatever discipline their parents giving them is for their own good.

parents are responsible for everything

Morally yes. That is why the parents should bring up their children to ensure they do not bring any bad name to the family. Also parents should teach from the beginning as to how they should become independent in all aspects. Parents are directly responsible for teaching mannerism, etiquette, differentiating good and bad, inculcating good habits,

yes they are ... you reap what you sow .. i hope my point is clear

Parents should be responsible for the children they bring into this world, be it past, present or future. They have the responsibility to teach, educate and guide them in their growing years. A child can be taught what’s permitted & what’s not from a young age. It is true that it’s hard to parent a child, especially so in today’s world where the media speaks so loudly. There’s no substitute to spending time with your children to shape their values from young. With both parents working and with marriages breaking up, it is sad that child minding is left to maids, baby sitters or extended family who are the ones spending the most time with them. If you are an absent parent, how can you have authority over them when you have not been there when they needed you? I don't think the govt is to be blamed, at least not directly but unless you blame them for calling woman back to the work force.

Yes and No. Some parents are responsible. The ones that let their kids do whatever they want. Some parents do the best they can and the kids still act off the hook. Raising kids is tough. I used to tell my son (when he would threaten to call the cops) To go ahead and call them, I will gladly go to jail for whippin your a--. One time we had an appt. to see the cops. He was pushing me and actually said go ahead and hit me and then I will have a mark and I will tell them. Guess what he got a smack and I said there I hope you have a mark. Well I did survive the teen years and my son is now a law abiding 27 yr. old with 3 boys.

The actions children make are responsibilitiy for their parents. These days, kids knows too much from tv, outside the world. They dont get discipline when they are little like I did when I was their age. I often think why parents these day dont spank their kids. Lot of people tells me that it will traumatize their kids but I think kids these days need more spanking than ever. If we can discipline with timeout with out kids, raising child will be very easy. I think as long as parents control what they can do and what they can not do to, and teach them the common sense about 911, they will not pick up the phone and say my parents abused me.

I feel I am responisble for my childrens actions and fortunately I have made sure they were taught manners and discpline from day one....some children were not taught any manners or boundaries and if their parents try to do it now...it can turn into an abuse issue and then they balme because they can't control them...it's a no win situation.

As long as he is a kid,parents are responsible for his actions.However once he grows up u could not blame the parents.

no the situation prevailin in the interior and remote areas of rwanda is the problem..i think u also think the same ..rt??

i depends on the case you could be the best parents and still have a bad kid then no but look at all the parents that just don't care that seems to happen more than you know and if that is the case then yes you should pay the price

Yep. You brought them up so you either did it right or wrong.
