Why do parents get punished for their kids actions?
At Juvenile Court we try to hold the juvenile accountable for his/her actions. If your child is ordered a fine, we recommend that you do not pay it out of your money but encourage the child to earn it himself/herself. By doing this you are also holding your child accountable for his/her actions. Sometimes the parents are involved in taking their child to different programs to help them learn to make appropriate choices. This may seem a hardship to the parents until they realize that this will help hold the child accountable and will help them learn to make better choices in the future.
