I’m not too sure if I agree with this, I think it’s a very valid point to have raised because it is ALWAYS the parents who receive the blame, and maybe it isn’t always their fault because children should be able to tell the difference between right and wrong, but what if morality hasn’t been inflicted on them from an early age?
Obviously if the child commits a crime then they should be blamed, but the parents aren’t completely blameless in the situation. If a child grows up and witnesses bad behaviour they will see this as normal, although that being said that is no excuse for anybody to act badly.
Obviously this is a topic which isn’t as black and white as it might seem initially; it depends on the situation and the individuals involved, and of course age is a big thing to consider. When does somebody stop being a child in terms of committing crimes?
I agree that it isn’t in a person genetic make- up to act badly; I think it’s the external factors which influence a person’s behaviour, this includes bad parenting.
