Closed Parental Responsibility

Closed on

With rioting, theft and looting across the UK committed by youths many of whom are under 18, create legislation which would apply sanctions not only to those under 18's guilty of criminality but also to parents and guardians to ensure they are held responsible and accountable for the actions of their children.
