How long before if implemented nation wide there would be an outcry? As the law stands a 10 year old is capable of understanding right from wrong as well as being responsible for his own actions. We want parents brought to heel over the way their offspring behave yet how would it balance out in the long term? The parent might have to fork out the money but will that make them a better parent or make them resent the offending offspring thus making it worse. A child that is resented might end up worse behavior wise than one that is treated as part of the family. This is going to be a rock and a hard place issue that will rumble on for many years.

How about not allowing people to have kids until they have taken lessons and instruction on parenting and passed a test? Just a thought.
