Are parents morally responsible for the actions of their children?

To an extent yes cause there are many kid's who become bad people but had an amazing up bringing like psychopath's but it's not there parent's fault for at least not to all there fault psychopath's are born with a genetic mutation that make's them what they are and trust me I should know cause I am one

@User 641673 Yea, I agree. The way parents raise their children affects the children's manners, morals, and personality as a whole, so they are partially responsible. But if a child has some sort of mood disorder or something, then you can't place blame on the parents.

a lot depends on the upbringing but there is only so much a parent can do

@🎩Llew🎩 yea true

has anybody heard of Amanda Todd? Well she was bullied for years and transferred schools 4 times and at all of them she got bullied. One time she was with a guy friend and the guys girlfriend beat her up and threw her in a ditch. When she got home she drank bleach. A few months later she committed suicide. I told my mom about this and she told me that it was all the girlfriend's parents fault and also Amanda's parents. Anyone agree/disagree?

@Marisa 😝 umm it was their fault to an extent lol. Obviously the girlfriend's parents didn't beat up the girl or encourage their daughter to do so, but a child raised well in a stable household by loving parents is very unlikely to commit such an act. Was it Amanda's parents' fault? I dunno. Since they didn't seem to try to help her with her bullying problems, and they didn't send her to a psychiatrist or psychiatric hospital or anything, it's kinda their fault. But then again, you don't know how aware they were of their daughter's pain, and they could've thought she's better off solving her own problems. It's might've jus been bad judgement.

to an extent. It depends how old they are like if they have had influences from other people.

This was a good question My question quality has gone down a lot ahaha
