Parents should be held legally responsible for their children’s actions. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Support your point of view with details from your own experiences, observations or reading.

Some people think that parents should be held legally responsible for their children’s actions. This is because it is the parents’ responsibility to shape their children and instill good values into them. However, I strongly disagree that they should be legally responsible if their children were cause harm or break the rules. This is because it is not only the parents who would influence children’s thoughts, but also exposure from the society and from friends.

Parents play an important role in children’s upbringing as they spend most time with them. However, when children get sent to school, the may be exposed to different activities and people. At a young age, children get easily influenced from what they see. For example, if a boy’s friend were to show him a video of violent material, he may be influenced and carry out a similar thing. Parents would not have had control over this occurrence, and it would not be fair if they were to be charged for it.

Majority of children also undergo a rebellious stage in their life. This is a stage when they become extra stubborn and frequently disagree with their parents’ suggestions. However, this does not mean that they are criminals as it may just be a phase of life. Therefore, if they do something wrong due to misguidance or bad influence, parents should definitely not be held legally responsible for their children’s mistake.

In conclusion, although parents play a crucial role in ensuring that their children are brought up well, they should not be held legally responsible for their children’s actions as a person’s action is always based on his own thoughts.
