Should parents be held accountable for the way their kids behave on social media sites?

  1. In some ways yes, because how you raise your child will effect how they grow up, and a parent has the job a raising their child.

    2. that is true but the parents don't also raise there child because they also learn from their friends and other family members.

    3. I had no idea that parents didn't raise their children

  2. I don't think that parents should be held accountable for their kids behavior on social media. The kids are completely responsible for their own actions on social media, and everywhere else.

    1. But what if your parents raised you to be a killer, wouldn't it be their fault that you're a killer, and I know what you're going to say "but they have a choice" well studies show that if a child is raised in a certain way they are likely to grow up that way. Like if you are born into a family of christians chances are you wont become a buddhist.

    3. Solomon, I think that you could have said that in a nicer way, and I would not have said that if that was what the question said, but that was not what the question said, so I think that you are being a little bit rude.

    4. Nicoletta, I do completely agree that your parents can't always fix your problems for you. There will be a point of your life when you have to learn how to fix your own problems.

  3. No, because its the kids who do it not the parents. And also who would do that bad of things on social medea that would put you in jail?

    1. I agree. Although if somebody is just mean, they could do something really terrible that could cause a person to be put in danger, which could put them in jail.

    2. If you threaten the life of the president you can be sent to jail.

      Delete
    3. Anna, what can a kid do though? Solomon, I don't understand how a kid can say that they shall kill the president and actually do it. How could a kid get in without being kicked out?

  4. Of course not. They are not you. Just because you aren't an adult doesn't mean you're one person. You should be accountable for your actions.

    1. I totally agree! You are SO right! You aren't your parent and your parents aren't you!

      Delete
    2. Although, parents should be aware of what is happening on their children's social media. I do agree that it is not the fault of the parents.

      Delete
    3. Yes, Anna I think they should be a little accountable as they are supposed to teach you how to be responsible.

    4. Thank you for agreeing Paige.

  5. No, I do not think parents should be responsible for there kids media sight because being able to have a media sight means you have to be responsible for your media witch is a more of a adult thing but that is a different matter.

    1. I agree. Something I must say though is that they should be responsible to teach them how to be responsible online.

    2. True, Caleb, but you would also need to stay accounable for something like that. Also I agree with Obi that it is a different matter with parents to kids.

      Delete
    3. Thank you for the feedback and yes Caleb I agree that parents should teach there kids how to use the internet responsibly but some parents do not know how to use the internet safely themselves and that is a big problem. As for page thank you for agreeing with me

  6. No your parents should not go to jail or anything like that because the kids will not learn their mistakes because they wont have their parents to teach them they did the wrong thing!!!!

    1. Of course. But they should teach them how to be responsible so no one's in trouble.

      Delete
    2. Yes I totally agree with you, and I do think children who do the wrong thing should know there mistakes but how would you tell the child they made the mistake.

      Delete
    3. well yeah... they should teach you how to be on social media!!!

  7. I don't think that parents should be held completely responsible for the way their children behave on social media sites. They can't control every movement of their child. But I do believe that parents should keep track of their children's social media accounts. And they should do the best of their abilities to protect their children and to make sure that their children are doing the right thing on social media. If a parent or responsible adult can help then they should. But if they have no knowledge of the event or it happens in a random situation then parents should not be held accountable for the post, comment, or other, of their child.

    1. That is probably what i will do if i have a kid i will track their social media and make sure they don't do anything stupid

      Delete
    2. I agree, but what do you mean by keep track or how would they protect them, are you proposing that kids should not have social medias at all?

      Delete
    3. Obi, great question, what I meant by keep track and protect them, is that a parent should follow their child or maybe even have their account password to check. No, I am not proposing that kids should not have social media.

    4. Henri, thank you for agreeing with my comment.

  8. Well if your parents knew that you were doing doing what you are doing and they let you do it then it is their fault for not stopping you. But if they did not know that you were doing the thing that you did then you should get most of the blame.

    1. I agree with that Tyler because if their parents knew that this was happening the parents should be punished but if the parents did not know they should not

      Delete
    2. I agree with Tyler about how parents should stop something if they know about it. Since people are individual, an adult can't completely control their child. So Tyler's comment about how you should get the blame when no one else knows, is reasonable and I agree completely.

    3. Thank you Henri for agreeing with me. Also on the last sentence did you mean "the parents should not be punished

    4. thanks Sofia for agreeing with me and i agree that the parents don't have full control of their child.

  9. Yes and no. Yes if there kid is doing as bad saying they will kill someone, or something illegal. But no if the kid is doing something not as bad, like bullying.

    1. True but bullying is not good but not super bad. Also if the kid is threatening to kill some one that is most likely not the parent's fault.

      Delete
    2. I agree that if things get serious parents should intervene, but sometimes parents don't know about the situation, if that's the situation than parents shouldn't get all the blame. Even for bullying, if a parent can stop it they should.
      I agree with Maddy about how parents shouldn't always get all the blame.

      Delete
    3. I see your point Tyler, but if a kid says they kill someone it can be their parents fault. Like if there parents say that.

    4. Sofia, thank you for agreeing with me

  10. I think it depends, sometimes kids learn to do things their parents do. Like if a parent swears/curses often the child may learn to swear/curse also. Also sometimes the child will pick up on things their friends do as well (weather it's bad behavior or good behavior). But sometimes children do things their parents aren't even aware of, so I honestly think it depends on the situation.

    1. I agree that it should depend on the situation like if the kid does something wrong that the parent does not know about than the parent should not get blamed.

      Delete
    2. I thank that it depends too, but not the same way I thank that if a kid does something really bad then yes, but if it is not to bad then no.

      Delete
    3. I agree with you Tyler, if the child is doing something that the parents don't know about, the parents shouldn't be blamed for it.

      Delete
    4. Thank you for your comment Maddie, but if the parents don't know about what's going on I don't thing people can really blame the parents for their kids bad behavior.

      Delete
  11. yea and no, because yes parents should tech their kids that it is wrong, but they are not always around to see what they are doing on the cites.

    1. I completely agree Megan. I believe parents should at least try to teach their kids to do the right thing. But if the parents encourage that behavior then I believe it is the parents fault. But as you said parents can't always see what their kids are posting.

      Delete
    2. I agree. But the kid should get in more trouble than there mom and dad. also it depends on how bad what the kid did is.

      Delete
    3. I agree Nora that if the parent encourages the behavior then yes they should be charged but not with all of the charges

      Delete
    4. Maddie,yes it does depend how bad that the kid did. Thanks for agreeing.

  12. I think it really depends on the kid, if it really hurting a person I think it something should effect the parent. But if the kid said something bad but after it didn't start out in something worse I think the parent shouldn't be held for, and the parent needs to be there to help the kid of what he or she said.

    1. I agree with that if it really hurts a person that the parents should know and it should effect them but not super serious for the parents

    2. I agree with you Elaina. The parents should know if their child was doing something hurtful to others.

      Delete
    3. I agree Megan, that what the kid did wouldn't effect the parents too seriously.

      Delete
    4. I completely agree Nora, that parents should know if their kid do something hurtful. Because if they didn't know, their kid might do something worse, you need to help them.

  13. Yes because the parents are responsible for their child and what he/she does on social media. But there is an exception if he/she repetitively does negative things or bullies.

    1. If the child keep on doing the same thing repetitively they need their parents to help them along the way and figure out. And if the parent is gone the kid wouldn't know what is right and wrong. And the parent need to be responsible, to help their child.

      Delete
    2. well I think that the parents should know, but i dont agree with the parent the charges because the kid may not learn from their mistake and could possible do it again.

      Delete
    3. Yeah the kid might not learn their lesson but I meant if the kid kept doing it purposefully.

      Delete
    4. I agree, Elaina if the parent isn't there he/she might not know how to fix what they are doing wrong.

      Delete
  14. kind of, because if their kid is doing something bad they should know about it.

    1. I agree they should know about what their kid did, I don't think the parent should go to jail, because the kid still need to learn what he/she did. So I thin the parent should know.

    2. I agree if he/she is doing something inappropriate the paent should know about it.
