Disagree.

Maybe if we started holding shitty parents responsible for the actions of their kids criminal activity we would have better parents and not as many delinquents running around.


You're assuming good faith on the part of the DAs offices and that this won't be prosecuted in a selective arbitrary way. Realistically a law like this will only be used against white suburban parents. I really doubt anyone from Flint or Dearborn or Detroit ever gets hit with prison time because of their son killing someone, and that's the problem with it.

A good comparison to illustrate when a parent should be held criminally liable is the case in Virginia (maybe?) where the six or seven year old got a gun from home, took it to school, and shot his teacher. I think the mother in that case did get charged.
