Child Morality

Child Morality can be an interesting topic to consider. Finding out who is responsible for an action committed by an individual can be hard. My belief on this topic is that parents and the methods of their parenting are responsible along with the child. Some people say it’s always the parents fault or it’s the Childs fault. I disagree with that mentality both parties play an important role in the Childs development.
For example it’s a parent’s job to teach a child wrong from right. On the other hand everyone has an idea of right verses wrong from birth. Therefore a child is also responsible for his or her actions. In the story “Thank you M’am” the young man knew what he was about to do was wrong, but since he had no one to take care of him he did it anyway. In this situation who do you blame just the child or the parent? The answer is you can’t blame just one the child may be innocent because he had none to take care of him. His parents might be innocent because the child committed the act when they weren’t present. This is why I believe that both parents and their children must work together in finding out what is moral and what isn’t.
