premise: The wrong impression that many have is that somehow through some sanctions a person will be brought into court if their child has been accused or is being charged with an offence before the courts and that somehow the courts will actually be able to hold the parent or guardian accountable.
hypothesis: Parents are responsisble for their children's behavior in the home as well as the eyes of the law
reason: Parents cannot be charged from a crime their kid commited. The context will trip up the system
