Yes. It would be child endangerment, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, serving alcohol to a minor and any number of charges, depending on the state, province or country in question.

Can a divorced parent allow their 15 year old child to drink alcohol in the home without the other parents consent?

If they do not have legal custody, no. In fact, the custodial parent should take this matter before the court with jurisdiction over the case. They should try to obtain a court order that the child not be served alcohol while in the "other parent''s" custody. Serving alcohol to a minor could constitute child endangerment in some jurisdictions and the parents who does so in liable for any resulting damages. Some states allow parents to serve alcohol to minors at home but in other states it would be a felony. You should consult with an attorney.

Is it against the law for you to let a minor stay at your house if their parents threw them out?

Firstly, it would seem quite illegal for any parent to "throw out" any minor child from their house .. where is this minor child supposed to go to live, eat, sleep, etc. The child only has to call 911 and the parents would be in big big trouble for doing that, one would think. If indeed the minor child was thrown out, this does not absolve any laws about child endangerment - if that child (minor) goes to live with someone over age 18, then the one who is 18 could get into equally as much trouble. Best to stay clear of this whole issue and let the family resolve all its issues, first.

Yes and no, being a parent who is always nice to the child giving them no disipline and giving them what they wanted all the time would lead to a very spoilt child. All parents have to be 'mean' to their child sometimes to show that the child doesn't rule over the parents.

Can youget in trouble for letting a minor sip my drink?

Absolutely. It doesn't matter how much, it's still giving alcohol to someone underage. If a child drinks a half of an alcoholic beverage (that you gave them) and they don't even get a little woozy, will you get in trouble? Nothing happened to them, but you STILL gave it to them. It's Supplying alcohol to a minor no matter how much is supplied. Good question though. Absolutely. It doesn't matter how much, it's still giving alcohol to someone underage.

Should parents be criminally responsible for willful damage caused by Their children?

If the child is a minor then they are the responsibility of the parents and it is up to the parent to either deal with their child's problems by setting down rules of the house. If the child consistently gets into trouble then it is up to the parents to find a program or get their child to a child psychologist for help. If a parent has done all this and the child still gets into trouble with the police then it is out of the hands of the parents and Child Aid will have to cope with the problem. If the parent has made no attempt to curb their child's poor behavior and let them basically run loose as they wish then yes, the parents should be accountable for crimes of their children.
