Parents shouldn't be punished for what their kids do. Sometimes, no matter how much the parents teach them, children make stupid mistakes. Parents shouldn't be held accountable for everything their children do. If the child does something that does cause financial harm, etc. to someone else then the parents should have to pay it, if they are good parents they will end up charging the children anyway.

Side: Parents should not be punished

It all depends on how they raise them. If they spank their children, that's how they be a parent. If they go to jail because of the murder on the child, well... we know what happens. Lets just hope for enlightened, inspired kids in the future.
