I think that having parental responsibility law is not a very good idea. After all, parents could not possibly follow their children twenty-four hours everyday just to make sure that they stay out of trouble. We should learn to take responsibility for all our actions, and not let our parents be responsible of whatever we do.
We should put the juveniles who commit criminal offences like manslaughter, murder, rape, arson and other violent crimes into boys/girls' home and to be sent for counselling. They are still young, and I am pretty sure they would regret their actions as they do not really mean to kill the person. It would be sort of an act of rashness. Or, we could put them on probation, and if they still show some signs of violence, then we could then take other actions.
For the parents to be held responsible part, I would think that it is not necessary. After all, just as I have said, parents could not follow their children twenty-four hours per day and stop them from doing anything wrong. We should learn to be responsible for what we do, or else, we would start to have this mindset that "My parents are being held responsible for whatever I do so I can do whatever I feel like doing." This way, teenagers would be more likely to commit crimes. Only by being responsible ourselves, then we could learn to stay out of trouble.
Everyone deserves a second chance. I guess this statement is always true, and thus, the 16 year old boy should be given a second chance to repent. However, I would say (again) that his (step)parents are not to blame for what he have done so they should not be held responsible.
