A parent has a responsibility to teach their child.
I think that everyone should have morals and a sense of what is right and what is wrong. Laws are almost always made up around the people in the society's morals. For instance, the reason that there are laws for the 16 years old who murdered the disc jockey is because the morals of the people in our society say that killing and stealing are wrong and should be punished. Without morals we would have no laws. Without morals we would have no society. Without morals, we may as well live in the middle of the woods without any kind of society at all. Morals are needed in order to have a safe and productive society. Since society is made up of the people within it, people need to have morals in order to be safe and productive.
Parents also have a moral responsibility to teach their child morals. According to most philosophical and family scientists, the primary purpose of the family is teach a child as he or she grows up. Part of this teaching is teaching the child morals. The responsibility for a child's actions rests with the parent, and if a parent expects their child to act responsibly, they need to teach him or her morals. The responsibility to teach children morals belongs to the parents of a child.
A parent must be allowed to know everything that their child is doing in order for them to teach their children right from wrong.
If the father or the step mother of the 16 year old boy had taught him about this or know what he is doing, will he still be in this state?
