You cannot and should not charge their parents, who had abso-fuckin-lutely nothing to do with it.

You cannot and should not charge their parents, who had abso-fuckin-lutely nothing to do with it.

These two had “literally nothing” to do with it, and they were charged for it. It’s called Neglect.

And yes, if your kid commits crimes, then you can be fined and sued for it. You are responsible for the conduct of your child while your child is incapable of being responsible for themselves.

Let’s not forget, by your framework of parental responsibility, if your unsupervised child sees porn on discord because they wandered into a community of people talking about porn… Tough shit, that’s life.

Let’s do one more thing here to really test your conviction to this argument that discord should be photo-ID-ing it’s users

Your entire comment is predicated on a position that I’ve already told you I do not hold, so good job on making a long and intentional strawman.

It’s called Neglect

Neglect is what I alluded to earlier by saying that you have to demonstrate a pattern of irresponsibility.

And to be clear, by “cannot” I was not saying it’s impossible, I was saying it’s wrong.

Drinking and driving can and do harm others.

Social media and porn also can and do harm others.

The age limits on smoking and also drinking, are there to prevent tobacco and alcohol vendors from hooking children on addictive substances.

Yes, I’m aware of what the purpose of that law is. It sounds like, by your position, we shouldn’t have those laws, because that’s a parents’ responsibility. Is that correct? And if not, please elaborate on how that’s different.

    I see you’re sticking with the strawman strategy.
