Is this seriously a question?

How could you not WANT to take responsibility? They're YOUR KIDS!? I'm guessing
the 60%+ of parents that voted no was because they KNOW they're a crappy parent
and would look to video games, TV shows and other social media to blame their ki
ds behaviors on, right? Of course! They're too busy working, on their electronic
devices, fighting with their spouse or worrying about something other than thei
r children. I mean, what the hell is Spongebob for anyway!? Other than to babysi
t! Or, lets give them a hand held device, tablet, iphone, i-something, to keep t
hem quite, preoccupied, and to transform them into evil little monsters that lat
er go into OUR children's schools with guns! What a bunch of arrogant people!
If the 60%+ people that voted no on this website were better parents, we wouldn'
t even be on this website taking this poll! Get offline and go deal with your ki
ds!
yes they should
my father did not support me while i grew up and i really wish he had but i had
to struggle and put my best foot forward throughout my life. i now know that he
was not able to support me and my brother because he had financial issues but i
guess if he wanted to decieve my mother then thats how he wants to be.
Yes they should
The parents are the main people that are influencing their children so I say yes
they should be morally and legally responsible for the actions of their childre
n; but up to a certain limit. The child is taught how to act in public situation
s by their parents. But I think there is a certain point where the influence of
peers is greater than a parent's influence.
Parents should be held responsible for their children's actions.
I do believe that a parent should be held responsible for their child actions. A
child is basically the reflection of their parents. I feel if a child is taught
discipline and moral values that a child is less likely to create problems. Tho
se children who do not receive those lessons early in life will less likely foll
ow the rules.
Yes the should be
Parents have a great influence on the child...Parents teaches their childrens, r
ight from their chidhood. It depends on the parents that how they treat their ch
ildrens, If a parent doesnt take care of their child then he will not gain good
values by them. And this will affect the child's future
What about when a parent intentionally instructs a child to do something wrong?
What about a situation where a Parent directly instructs the child to do somethi
ng wrong? The child is then under parental influences and if that child is under
12 years old, the child shouldn't be assumed to have fully understood or consen
ted to what they were doing. Sometimes a parent will tell their 8 year old to do
something wrong, should the child be considered to have voluntarily consented?
OF COURSE - Parents are the direct influence to their kids behavior
People who voted yes on this poll obviously have no understanding of their effec
t on their children. Parents are the only direct source of how their children's
behavior is formed. Period. So they are accountable. I wish there is a law to re
gulate this matter so people become more aware of their impact - especially thos
e who are dysfunctional.
Parents should be
Responsible because they are the main influence for their children. It is often
said that parents are their kids first teacher. What parents teaches is actually
done by the children when they are exposed to the social environment. But after
some age it is for the parents to have close view on their kids on what type of
peers they have,etc
If you don't want to be responsible, don't have kids.
I am flabbergasted by the number of parents I know, good honest people, that don
't monitor nor strongly influence their children's behavior, activities, and com
munications. If more people took an active interest in their children's lives th
ere would be less ADHD, fewer teen pregnancies, fewer suicides, less violence, a
nd less bullying. Are people just lazy? Too consumed with themselves? Why have k

ids if you weren't planning on raising them???
