A lot of the time yeah. If parents do a good job, then the children won't do bad things.

Side: yes they should.

Yes, they should.

They're the ones raising the child from infancy, so the child behaviour is the result of the parenting (or lack of it).

Side: yes they should.

Parents,who are known as "leaders" Parents should watch over their children and teach them how life works. If they don't teach well, their children might just ignore their parents. For example, a student is done with school and his parents aren't there yet. And all of a sudden he starts climbing a car and starts stomping on the car. Well, it is the parent's responsibility because his parents should have came early. Also, if a parent starts saying bad words, their children might follow. That is how they teach poorly.

Side: yes they should.

Exactly.

The child can't know what is right and wrong unless the parent teaches them.

If a child is small, they can't understand right or wrong yet, so they will jump on a car, they don't know any better. That's why a parent shouldn't leave a small child unsupervised.

Side: yes they should.

I'd have to agree with this, because parents are supposed to guide and advise and well-behave their own children to be good role models and keep their reputation safe.

Side: yes they should.

Yes they should, because parents teach their children how to behave, children can't teach them self by self. So, they do what they learn. Sometimes, children can learn from their class mate and neighbors bad behavior. However, when parents see what they learn, they punish them and back them to the right way. In any case parents put their hand on their children behaviors.

Side: yes they should.

because the responsibility for children rests on the parents so they should follow their children before they fall into the problems.

Side: yes they should.

Children are their responsibility. Parents are responsible for the bad acts committed by their children.

Side: yes they should.

I think it is natural to try and experiment with things and behaviors.

If a 5 year old child is being a little naughty, I believe it is in his nature to be that way. But when they are like .. 15 and stuff they should know by then how to behave among people, and if they don't then there is probably something missing in the parent's parenting.

Side: no they shouldn't.

Behavior is a byproduct of natural predisposition (genetics/biology) and environmental stimuli (experience), and parents have considerable influence over behavior as a consequence of their formative role in creating the environment in which the child is raised. That being said, there will be instances where parenting is not the problem and such blame would be misplaced.

It is also worth noting that the parents themselves are a product of their personal development, over which they did not exercise control. Bearing that in mind, I negate on semantics and argue that parents ought to be held accountable rather than blamed.

Side: no they shouldn't.

In my own opinion, parents shouldn't take the blame of their children's behavior, but at the age of 3-9 years old, yes they should take part of the blame because raising children's in the right way begins here at this age , but soon they get to the teens age ! We can't say that parents should be blamed for their behavior because teens must be under alot of other Influential factors such as friends,technology and the huntsman nature of discovering and trying new things.

All that do effect on the way the teen thinks and acts, so to keep parants away of the blame parent must advice their children's and also they should let them experience the life and learn how to depend on their selfs but not a way too much, parents should have some control in it just to guide them to the right way.

Side: no they shouldn't.

No. what can parents do if their child became a terrorist because of his/her friends

but friends should be blamed if you ask me.

Side: no they shouldn't.

I for one disagree that parent's should be blame on their children misbehavior because people have different sets of traits that differentiate one another.which means, the child may still grow up to be a person that the parents are not expecting them to be. Children can easily get influence from their friends and also mass media. It is also connecting to a peer pressure where the children can't stand to follow on what did their friends have done and start to trying a new thing to discover their growing up processes.

Side: no they shouldn't.
