Juvenile Law-Parental Responsibility
Most states are concerned about responsibility of parents for the actions of their children. Many states have enacted laws imposing liability upon the parents for misconduct of their children resulting in property damage. For instance, if your juvenile eggs the next door neighbor’s home, resulting in property damage, you may be liable for that damage as a parent. However, the states that have enacted such laws typically put a cap on the extent of the parental liability in terms of dollars.
