Can and should a parent be liable for the negligence of the child? Under what, if any, circumstances?

Solution

Many people will show negligence during work or anything that which leads to loss or people will be injured or our duty will be spoiled. Negligence liability refers to the person who fails to do their work in the proper way and it leads failure then that person will be responsible for that cause. Negligence liability of children tends to if any work done by them and which leads to any problem, sometimes their parents are responsible and sometimes children are responsible. In many cases we can observe that children are going to roads and met with an accident. Parents will warn them not go out because accidents will occur but they won’t listen and go out. This is not children mistake because when they tend to walk they want to go out and roam. If they grow up and ride their bikes very fast and met with accidents sometimes this leads to death also in this case it was the mistake of the children so that their negligence is responsible for an accident.

According to my point of view, all the time parents are not responsible for their negligence because they take care about their children. If any problem occurred when their children are kids then parents will be responsible but when they grown up definitely parents will warn them what to do and what not do and they will also explain the consequences if they neglect them but children doesn’t listen to their words and do what they want. Parents will be responsible for their negligence to certain age of the children but when their age was exceeded parents will not be responsible. Many of the accidents will be occurred due to the negligence of the children because they don’t take any safety precautions.
