yes, parents should be held accountable for their children's actions until they are of age. I have actually heard very little about this case, but I'm sure that whatever happened could have been prevented by proper supervision of the child. proper instruction of the child would also go a long way.
Obviates the need for mouse hover spoiler alerts. :)Quote:
