Best idea they’ve had yet. Hold the parents accountable. Maybe the parents will start holding their children accountable, take interest in their life and disciplining them when appropriate.

[@FullyAutomaticAddict410]

I agree. These kids today are practically running over they're parents. These are the Children of The Corn!! Smh

Send the kid to Juvi when the parent is in jail. They both will learn a lesson from their poor decisions.

Should be this way across the US

DEI can’t even memorize a full sentence without its phone. What a joke!

[@andretyson2145]

I really hope that these laws really make a change with these juveniles because they’re totally out of control. They think they can do what they want and it’s not consequences behind their actions.

[@harryPair]

The parents are doing crimes with the kids

[@jackiemcclary6484]

As for that attorney listen sir this not effecting the household you live in but these one home parents is not an excuse for them not being held accountable for the child they brought into this world So stop the nonsence

[@jeffreygoss8109]

This is years late. These parents are paid by taxpayers to raise their children so they should be held accountable. If they didn’t want the responsibility don’t have children. This includes the sperm donors. If I have a dog and it bites someone I am responsible, why shouldn’t paid parents? Not to mention how much money spent on their education that they are receiving because they don’t go to school. In Baltimore they just change the grades.

[@boondoggle4820]

DJS should have no role in the charging and prosecution of suspects. That should be up to the police and the state’s attorney. DJS’s only role should be to offer services once they’re in the system, and to run the juvenile detention facilities.

[@nieshamccoy9419]

I actually agree

[@Avicz140]

Fuq an expert, they got us into this situation

[@BetterAmerican-Fkyourfeelings]

No. You idiots do it to yourselves.

[@TheGlennweldon]

Can't hold the parents accountable. Won't hold the kids accountable. The State decided the victim is the only one who has to suffer the consequences of crime.

[@Antonio-kx5rd]

A step in the right direction

[@jackiemcclary6484]

The parents need to held accountable Why are these kids outside in the middle of the day and night car jacking people who work hard for there properties I’VE ALWAYS SAID THE PARENTS NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE END OF STORY BECAUSE IT STATTS AT HOME!!!!

[@VGHCX]

Laws are meaningless words on a piece of paper unless they are enforced with maximum sentences.

[@LanceButler-l5n]

You make sure you hold the right parents responsible because some parents do not want their children to come back home but DJs keep letting them go back home and you still should hold the dumb juveniles accountable also don't let them off the hook

People will scream race when b L ack parents get punished more than Why te parents.

[@BetterAmerican-Fkyourfeelings]

13%/90%. Sounds very accurate.

[@stevea6816]

Yeah that’s always the case. Let ‘em cry racism. Hopefully the law will get passed and signed

[@carlevans1645]

I’m saying if u look the mothers be in front of the stores in gas stations wit the father this city need ur kids to go to jail to make money in the parents don’t care if there child do a lot these parents tell there kids how to be in the streets y’all be surprise

[@nicksolinsky2311]

No this will not change anything. This would work in a traditional nuclear family model, but the community has been so eroded that these kids are being raised by God knows who, absentee fathers, mothers, grandmothers, etc. were talking about children and parents alike who have nothing to live for or lose. sadly the only way to curtail this will be some real consequence that the kids will feel. Aka incarceration

[@teresamorland8414]

If there's a will there's a way. How about child endangerment when your child's out there doing crimes you should be held responsible.

[@BLACKLUFFY666]

if parents can be held responsible for truancy then they can be held responsible for crime

[@mademsoisellerhapsody]

1:21 this is what responsible parenting looks like. This mother clearly feels responsible toward and cherishes her child♥

[@Thinksmartlivelonger]

To just died! Yeah people are about to stop having kids.

[@PROUDNativeAMERICANgarbageDJT]

If I knew this is what this country was turning into I would not have had any.

[@LanceButler-l5n]

Soon as you tried to get help for your ill-mannered juvenile dummy the system don't want to help you so don't blame all the parents so get that right you need to put the blame on those damn juveniles and put them in jail.

[@TannisHenriksen]

OK but if the child is absent the school has to call first thing not end of day. I'd randomly show up at school and mine was absent. Call after school hours 😠

[@ROYALDONTPLAY]

Ut oh parents finna be heated

[@chriscarlisle499]

Go figure your all still trying to punish people that have nothing to do with it. Your kids like mine don’t alway listen when you tell them something. You hold the damn child accountability. I have seen many parents that try everything and there kid just won’t learn.

[@gunsmoke7573]

penalize poor people? makes no sense. stupid idea.

[@nieshamccoy9419]

Well, I can partially agree with Bates because there are parents who don't care about what their kids do, but I can agree with you as well

[@FullyAutomaticAddict410]

You just had a 12 yr old, two weeks ago I believe who was charged with what would be his 6th robbery!! At 12! And you don't think his parents should face some type of consequence for this?? It doesn't have to be jail time. It can be monetary, community service, mandatory counseling, something!!

[@Khultan]
