Statutory Liability

Statutory liability refers to a legal obligation imposed by law that holds parents responsible for certain actions or misconduct of their children. In the context of children's conduct, this means that if a child engages in harmful or illegal behavior, parents may be held accountable in specific ways outlined by statutes. For instance, some laws may require parents to pay for damages caused by their child or impose penalties if their child commits a crime. This framework aims to encourage parental supervision and responsibility for their children's actions.
