The parents should be responsible for any bullying their children do.

] "A child is not consider an adult till the age of 18. Till then the parent is held responsible for every action their children make."Should the parents be responsible? What if they weren't aware of the child's acts at school?"A parent has to keep a close watch on child in this generation, because social media is making it easier for a child to bully and be bullied"Social media has made it easier yes, however some parents don't monitor their child's actions on the social media websites. Further more, if they did monitor what if they didn't find the posts about the bullying?"You may say a parent can't always watch their children and they can not see what they do at school, wrong! Today generation is posting everything they do on the social media or through their phone. Parents can also now watch children messages to see if their child is bullying. Phone messages can be linked to a parent email and can see every received and sent message"Actually, that's IF they decide to. Some parents feel like their child is responsible and may not need monitoring."Their is no valid excuse for parent not to stop bullying, so why are we not charging both child and parent? Because society see it as the child fault and not the one raising the child."There is no excuse, however the parent shouldn't be charged with child harassment because of their child's poor actions. Guess what, some children ignore their parents and choose their own path. Sadly, bullying is one of them."The one who was suppose to put morals and values into their child lives."Define morals. Why? Not every parent shares the same morals. Parents tell their children being gay is okay. Others say being gay is horrible. The whole gay debate falls into the category of morals that can't be defined. "I swear to you ladies and gentlemen if parent where now to be put on trial for letting their children bully another child, their will be less youth bully. And maybe a life, a young life would be saved."Oh really? Can you actually prove that? The child could get relocated and just bully more people. If we followed your plan, almost every parent would go to jail because there are A) A lot of bulliesB) People who lie about being bulliedC) People who act like they're bullying but are just messing aroundD) People who feel like they're bullied but not really. People can be rude sometimes. That's not bullying, that's being a dick.Now my argumentA)There is no evidence that if a child's parent isn't arrested because their child bullies, there would be less bullying. If a child is arrested for killing a person and the parents get arrested too, there will still be teenagers killing other people. Let's look at a chart. According to this chart, children 6-9 years are bullied most emotionally. However, children often pick on each other without knowing they're really causing problems. Want proof?Children at this younger age, mostly 6 and 7 are developing one big skill they'll use in the future. Language. It's proven multiple times. Children at the ages of 6 through 11 lie more. In a test, children of the ages 3-11 were given a bar of soap. When asked if they liked it, most of them said "yes". Later, they admitted to saying they disliked the gift. Or in short, they lied.[http://www.realsimple.com...]One study shows that children from 6-10 lied about every 90 minutes.[http://www.realsimple.com...]Why? They're devoping their language skills and they don't know that lying is bad.How does this fit into my argument you ask? To simply put it, they aren't aware what they are doing is bad as mentioned before. Why do they tease though? A few reasons. One big reason is attention. If calling someone else a name makes them happy, they'll do it a lot. This leads to bullying. However...the parent may not be aware of this and since they lie a lot (as mentioned above) if they're caught their parents will take his/her side and will believe him. Unless of course, the proof is obvious. The child isn't really aware that the teasing is causing problems unless A) The child being teased cries and gets helpor B) they know that it's badIn short, they don't really know teasing is wrong until they get older and they do it for attention and they're learning how to use their language skills and don't realize it's bad.[http://preschoolers.about.com...]BACK TO THE CHART!Let's look at the teenage area. 14-17.Internet harassment is pretty high, as well as the emotional and physical hasn't dropped much from 10-13. You're probably thinking "They ought to know it's wrong now"Right? Well yes, but they don't care until they are caught. Cyber bullying is a little tricky when it comes to getting caught. Why? 1. Parents feel like their child is responsible and doesn't need monitoring2. It's over the internet. Unless the victim and the bully know each other directly, all information could be fabricated and thus makes it a little harder for the bully to get caught.It's illegal to bully over the internet, however, people don't get arrested often. Victims don't tell and when a bully is caught, their account gets deleted. Problem solved? Nope. Make another account. This is why it's easy to get bullied online. You can keep reporting but they'll keep coming back. It's still possible to get caught. If the victim kills themself, a full investigation will be brought forward. Even then, the bullies may not get arrested depending on age. Take it away pro.
