" 'People should be forced by law
to report their children’s criminality or face jail',
parents of two sisters who survived the Southport attack said today.

As part of his recommendations,
Sir Adrian said
the Law Commission should consider whether parents ought to have a legal duty to report their children's criminality to the authorities in such situations.

The parents of the girls
agreed new legislation should be introduced,
citing recent cases in the United States,
where parents of school shooters have been successfully prosecuted for reckless conduct or involuntary manslaughter.

The parents said
they were appalled by the apparent ‘lack of remorse’ from Alphonse Rudakubana, 50, and Laetitia Muzayire, 54,
when they gave evidence to the public inquiry
and claimed they not only ‘failed’ their girls but also their own son as well."

I’m not averse to this recommendation, but in reality it’s going to be difficult to implement without a whole world of difficulties- particularly where parents then lose other children or family members. AR was also 17 at the time legally an adult- so where does that line get drawn. Do we then prosecute every parent of every criminal who knew deep down their child was a wrong un?

If they knew they were a danger and did nothing about it yes.

Sadly that simplification is the reason some parents take the life of their children- because they worry they may do harm in the future (often unfounded, but without support this would become normality). You oversimplify the complexity of everything else involved.
