I think a lot of outside factors can have an influence but in all the parents are at fault, you have a responsibility when you have a child to look after them to keep them safe and to teach them. You are not withholding your parental responsibility if you do not know where your child is or what they are up too, taking control of a children in these situations may be difficult but a good parent would do everything to never stop trying to remedy the problem and get help in place.

Well said, I agree Parents should always take full responsibility for their, own children for sure. Thanks I really appreciate you’re answer Catherine.
