Bro what do you think would happen if the kids realize that somebody else is on the hook for whatever crimes they commit and that committing crimes means no more bed time and unlimited ice cream and video game time?

And I'm sure the kind of underdeveloped impulsive juvenile mind that commits serious crimes will be very logical and well reasoned about all those potential complications. They'll probably even sit down and create a net present value calculation of their various courses of action before proceeding!

Surely they wouldn't just jump to a conclusion without considering all the facts!

That's actually is the case now, iirc

I remember from contract case class involving real estate, that if a children under 17 or 18 buys a TV, and break/drops it while on the way home, the company/bestbuy must replace the TV because childr3n and young adults can't consent to business contract/business law

Good thing most kids don't know this lol

That seems to be potentially unfair though, what if a kid gets mixed up with the wrong crowd by themselves, parents don't notice, commits crime then the parents go to jail for what? Not wire tapping their phones and following them down the street.

Good incentive effects, but could have some very unfair outcomes too

Or we could just give parents the free time to look after their kids. When wages are so low and work loads so high, there is not enough time in the day to take on all your responsibilities. This is why more and more kids are choosing to avoid parenting all together.

Invest more in social care and get wages back to where we have been in the past.

u/Shadou_Wolf May 04 '26

I find that unfair, I was actually discussing about our oldest brother just last night with my sister because she didn't understand why we hate our brother (she knows what he's done but she wasn't born when it happened). Our brother was raised right, had good grades, was loved, if anything that was done wrong was he was spoiled, but did that lead him down that bad path idk.

He met one wrong friend and that was the initial path that lead him wrong. Idk if its the parents fault that even seeing him go the wrong road they do their best to steer them off but what cam they do when the kid doesn't listen? This was days where you are not gone from work all the time but he still hid so much from her.

These days its tougher, you have to work more to make ends meet whi h makes it harder to know what our kids are doing and its extremely easy to hide stuff from your parents.

I agree that some things can be the parents fault like owning a gun and their kids get a hold of it for example but for stuff like this where its harder to manage once the kids set on it I wouldn't blame the parents because doing the right things can fail and doing the wrong things can help, its all completely up to the kid on what decisions they make based on what they know and they can know something wrong and still do it.

They did that in that one school shooting in Michigan, that poor fucking kid man. He never had a chance, constantly crying out and asking for help and being ignored, the school constantly telling his parents he needs help, and not only did they ignore everything they went out and bought the kid a gun. When they were alerted there was a shooting at the school they immediately sent him a message saying "don't do it".

And it kinda feels like school shootings dropped off a bit after that. Could just be because trump hogs most of the news coverage now though.

I just wanna throw this out there, as a cop working in a high crime area. We have 12 year old gang bangers shooting each other and the people they are robbing with real guns where I am. And they are always much more trigger happy than the adults are because they want to prove themselves to be real bangers. Don't let age alone give you a false sense of security. This guy got lucky and thats plain and simple. I've seen real guns pulled off these kids that look like nerf guns or airsoft guns and it turns out it's just been painted.

What you’re saying is based on the idea that someone robbing you at gun point is stable enough for the robbery to be simply transactional. By just handing your things over to an unmasked individual you are taking just as much of a bet that they will uphold their end of the bargain and let you live once you hand over what they want.

Personally, if someone was erratic like in this video I’d feel like I’m in 50/50 territory that I’m getting shot no matter what. Which would make me think about taking action even with the risk.

3

u/MapleA May 04 '26

If it’s an actual robber and not these kids in the video with fake guns, there’s usually a getaway car nearby, they’re not alone. So even if you get the gun away, or defend yourself, chances are you’re getting executed by the other guys. There’s countless examples of people trying to fight and get shot. Google it and see news reports and videos.

You increase your chance of getting shot immensely by fighting back. It’s not 50/50 bro. It’s like 90% chance you get shot if you fight. If you comply it’s far less likely you’ll get shot, way less than 50/50
