If we hold parents more accountable for the actions of their kids then they might start parenting again. Something that has seemed to stop in recent years. We cant always shrug off responsibility just because the kid was young.

I got news for you, in most states the parents ARE responsible for the criminal and civil liabilities of a minor CHILD. Everything they own will belong to the family of the victims after the wrongful death trial.
