They just caught three teens here in Vegas who were vandalizing a neighborhood- smashing out peoples windshields with rocks, throwing rocks through the windows of their homes, etc.,etc....
On the news the D.A. said if they try them as juveniles they are going to also go after their parents for the damage (over $100,000.00 of damage).
Two were 16 years old, one was 17. If they get tried as adults, they will face prison time and be stuck with a very large amount of restitution.
So, I would think (I am not a lawyer, so I'm guessing) that in some cases the parents can be held accountable for the actions of their kids.
