Should parents be criminally liable for kids’ e-motorcycle crashes?

[Anonymous]

Taking the parents into criminal court in such cases appears to be a growing trend. Are the kids riding a "deadly weapon"?

Yes! Fines, penalties, court costs, damages. The vehicles could be impounded. Depending on the crime, the kids should have to attend courses in person and be subjected to further penalties if they fail to pass.

Some kids these days are running wild. In some areas, it is popular for gangs of them to swarm on bicycles, e-bikes and electric bikes, breaking roadway laws and terrorizing motorists.

My sister was just telling me about how the city put a new roundabout down the street from her house. A road that was once 2 lanes is now 1 lane when it enters the roundabout. And that causes traffic to back up.
Swarms of monsters have been weaving in and out of traffic, riding against traffic, not yielding at the roundabout, cutting people off, flipping people off, kicking cars and knocking off mirrors just for fun.
People are up in arms about it but the police have little success in catching kids on bikes when they all scatter.

The city is making plans to crack down. They are asking people for photos and videos. and the police are going to go to the schools to identify the kids.

But you can't do my to a kids, so that's why it is necessary to hold their parents responsible.

hold the kids responsible. teach kids responsibility.

Probably need controls at the sale point, but used sales... not much can do. I favor holding the individual responsible with required education and training on risks and dangers.

I used to ride all sorts of stuff...

The parents are responsible their child's behaviors. Who should teach the kids?

[lightbulb27]

Kids need to be responsible. This is the problem and they aren't trained.
The parents. In some cases, there aren't parents. There should be required training at the shops as well, must watch video.
in some cases, nothing can do on used market.

Yes, get thr parents to take responsibility for their kids. The problem will go away

[jahaims]

Parents should be liable for all of their children's actions until they are 18

[Asker]

They are by law.
