I'm not even sure there is a crime here. I see irresponsible parenting all the time, but I don't like it when the government gets their hands too deep into things. This seems like overstepping boundaries to me.

This applies to both doing good, as well as doing bad things. At 3 yrs old, I am already (trying to) teach my daughter that she has to complete her preschool homework, or face the consequences. I am also making her realise the consequences of her decisions, by citing to her her options and corresponding effects, and letting her decide upon these. So far it hasn't worked very well because she is still thinking very short term, but that's not my point here now ;) At 18, the dad shouldn't still be held accountable. Rubialala is right- there is likely more to this story.. I think, from as young as possible, a child should be taught to think in terms of responsibility and accountability.
