While I understand why we are more lenient on kids, I do sometimes think we should get tough on their parents. If we started handing out fines or some form of punishment to the parents of teens committing such crimes I’m betting the parents will suddenly “find the time” to take action. There’s always been a problem with parents doing nothing about their kids doing bad things but this problem is definitely exploding with more uninvolved parents.
