JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 31 - Vandalism

According to Wendy Stenberg-Tendys, "Under the new law, parents would be cited for such vandalism, and the proceeds would be used to help clean and recondition destroyed property." (source link). This shows that parents should be able to ACHIEVE the prevention of their teens actions of vandalism. This also shows that parents would be held accountable 100 percent for their teens actions of any damaging ways. According to Arthur Gibson of Helium debates, "Yes, because if parents aren't responsible for their child's behavior, than who is?" (source link). This shows that parents need to be able to watch there kids and monitor their behaviors and actions so they do not to any thing illegal.  This also shows that parents should be held responsible for SPECIFICALLY what their kids do because they are under age and can not pay for what they did by themselves. In conclusion, parents should be held accountable for what their kids COMPUTING to the vandalism because they are too young to be charged themselves and they should have been watched closer by their parents.
