at least 36 States have mandated some type of responsibility provision beyond civil liability for parents or guardians of delinquent children --Each state imposes legal responsibility on parents and legal guardians for the delinquent and criminal acts of minors in their charge. Parental responsibility statutes have been in effect in the U.S. for at least 100 years. It is a misdemeanor in California for a parent to fail to fulfill his or her "duty to exercise reasonable care, supervision, protection, and control over their minor child." (Cal. Penal Code § 272.) Poor parenting. A few states make parents indirectly responsible for their kids’ acts. These laws focus on poor parenting; unlike CDM laws, they often specify which criminal acts violate the statute. For example, Louisiana's statute makes parents criminally liable if a child is convicted of a felony; is a member of a known criminal street gang; possesses or has access to an illegal firearm, weapon, or explosive; is a known user or distributor of illegal drugs; or is habitually truant. (La. Rev. Stat. § 14:92.2 (2020).)

I don't blame them! Give them felony charges, and show them how it feels when you disrupt an entire school over fake, or real threats, for fun!
Y’all tweaking 🤣
