Well, yes and no. This is dependent upon the situation. For the most part, all parents are accountable for their children's behavior until they leave home at the legal age of 18. Parents should realize when a child is out of control and take necessary measures in order to prevent the criminal behavior in the first place through love, care, and teaching both through word and deed. Nevertheless, there are circumstances our teens (especailly) find themselves in which are difficult at best and behavior gets out of hand and is hard to prevent. In these cases, and all others the court is usually the deciding factor. The judge, based upon the evidence and history of the situation and child, will decide who pays for said crime.
