when good wombs bear bad sons.

What are your thoughts on having a parental responsibility law?

A parental responsibility law ensures that parents do their jobs as parents to educate and discipline their child while they are still understage, and most probably still unable to think and act maturely.

If you support such a law, how can the law be enforced?

The law can be enforced when the child breaks the law and it is provened that the parents did not do their parts as parents to teach and guide the child.

What are the suggested punishments (counselling, jail, fines, pay for damages, community work, etc.)?

Counselling for both parents and child. Putting child in boys' or girls' home if they break the laws frequently. Pay for damages and fine the parents.

What kinds of violations or offences require which type or level of penalties and why? Will such laws help to reduce juvenile deliquency?

Murder, robbery, rape, arson, joining street gangs, getting into fights, taking drugs..
Such laws will be able to help to reduce juvenile deliquency. Parents will keep a lookout on their child's doings and they will care of their child. The children will not be given much chance to violate the laws.

In the case of the 16 year old boy who was charged with murder, what do you think the law should do to him? To his (step)parents?

He should be given a chance, but still punished. And his step parents should be punished (maybe fine), and both parents and child should be counselled.
