Parents should be involved in their child’s education, controlling his actions. For many types of crimes or administrative violations, responsibility comes only from a certain age. Therefore, if a child commits illegal activities, his parents will be responsible for it. According to the Family Code, parents are equally obliged to take care of their children until they become fully independent (Bester, 2021). By default, parents are obligated to fulfill all responsibilities assigned to them by the code. If the child behaves inappropriately and violates the law and public order, it is the parents’ fault. Consequently, they are obliged to answer for the actions of their ill-mannered child on their own. Liability for inappropriate parenting If parents ignore the rules of conduct, then they are not fulfilling their parental responsibilities; there are severe penalties for this (Bester, 2021). Failure to fulfill parental obligations to raise and care for a child may result in limited or total termination of parental rights.
As for a child’s accomplishments, I believe that parents should be rewarded for them as well. This is because each parent, in one way or another, shows participation in the child’s development, which then leads to specific achievements (Seccombe, 2017). Even the fact that parents did not limit their child’s choice of activities is already considered a factor in further achievements. Thus, parents should be held accountable for any behavior their child demonstrates. Accordingly, they should be punished for their child’s crimes and rewarded for their achievements. This is due to the fact that parents always have a direct influence on their children and their child’s upbringing is their primary concern. That is why parents should be rewarded for all the things their children do, regardless of whether they are good or bad.
