While I do agree with you that the raising of children properly is the responsibility of the parents, I can't agree with you that a parent should be arrested for crimes their teenager (or kid of any age) commits. IMO, The kid needs to bare the weight of the consequences themselves, and the parents need to allow the consequences to be dealt for their child's own good. If the parent is a criminal themselves, then seperate charges should be filed upon them too, and perhaps they're looked into by the child protective services folks for the sake of their kids, but arrested for something they did not commit and were not an accomplice to? I say no. That's going too far.
