Parents should be punished for the crimes of their children. To what extent do you agree?

Nowadays,

crimes

can be committed by anyone, including

children

.

However

, I strongly disagree with those who feel that

parents

should be punished if their

children

commit

crimes

.

Firstly

, punishing

parents

for the

crimes

committed by their

children

is unfair. In fact, criminal behaviours are influenced by various factors

such

as environment, peer pressure and social media. Punishing

parents

for their

children

's

actions

is inequitable. It is well known that criminal behaviour is affected by external factors, which are beyond parental control, especially when

children

are outside parental supervision.

Therefore

,

parents

can't fully be blamed for the crime acts committed by their son.

Secondly

,

children

must take

responsibility

for their criminal

actions

.

Children

who have reached a certain age,

such

as teenagers, should be able to differentiate between good and bad things and be responsible for their

actions

.

For instance

, when a teenager is caught stealing from a shop,

this

case is seriously criminal category, so the teenagers must take

responsibility

for their

actions

without involving their

parents

.

Moreover

, punishing their

parents

for the

crimes

can lead to decreasing

children

's

responsibility

because they think their

parents

will take

responsibility

for their

actions

which leads to destroying their morals and maturity.

Therefore

,

children

must be punished for their criminal

actions

. In conclusion, punishing

parents

for their

children

’s

actions

has negative effects because it is unfair to

parents

and can lead to destroying

children

's morale and maturity. I,

therefore

, remain firmly convinced that

parents

shouldn't be punished if their

children

commit criminal

actions

.
