is it considered contributing to the delinquency of a minor if a parent gives there child alcohol?

Yes, it is.  If they're not of legal age, it's contributing.

Yes it should. The legal drinking age being 21 does not prevent under age kids from drinking. I drank more when I was under 21 than when I turned 21. If you are a legal adult, and can gamble, join the military, sign a contract, and get married you should be able to legally drink. The problem is not drinking the problem is ones lack of self control.

Generally speaking, of course they can.  What if the minor was being abused by a parent?

yes, if you are a minor in possession    , serving alcohol to minors,etc. the list goes on

Absolutely.  If his father is a drug dealer, than he is always running the risk of being involved in violence.  Users will do anything sometimes to get their drugs, including violence.  I used to deal drugs when I was a teenager, but I grew up and found the Lord.  I would never put my children in that situation.  I would say keep him away from his father as much as possible.  Kids are smart.  Don't expose your child to lifestyles that you don't want him to grow up and live in.  Plus, on top of that he is abusive....make the smart choice for your child.

I'm not aware of the law here, but i guess we are talkin about two different scenarios here. Under influence or alcohol intoxication and Induced hypnosis under sodium pentothal in controlled enviornment. The second one might be helpful to generate pertaining information. But i have a strong hunch about evidence being gathered under both scenarios to be inadmissible in the court of law

it all depends.  It has a lot to do with how many other crimes a minor has been convicted of and stuff like that it also depends on the age because a person my be still considered a minor by the state they might not be by the crimes they commit on how harsh they are.  It is really on a case by case basis

It should not have any affect of the outcome.\n\nSperm damage from Alcohol takes a lot of alcohol over a long time.

Unopened, meaning the seal isn't broken, yes if you're old enough to possess alcohol.  No if your underage.

Maybe some parents believe that if they don't know about it then they won't try it. But I think that some parents are acting naive regarding this idea. It's better to educate kids (well) about drugs and alcohol coupled with parents talking to their kids as well about it. We can't leave the responsibility solely with the school. The school should also support the "parenting" of these kids since the do spend a considerable amount of time in the school with their peers. It's a balancing act and as parents we can just hope and pray that we brought them up well.

Parents are definitely responsible for their children's crimes if they contribute to them. A gun owner has a responsibility to keep it locked up, and if he does not abide by that responsibility, he should have to be punished for his part in the crime.

No, this is the stupidest thing the government's ever advocated. Like "Devotional" said, even the best parents will get saddled with a bad kid sometimes.\nHow about putting the responsibility on the committers of the crimes? \nThe other instances where it's just a ticketable offense, it's clearly just about gaining more revenue - after all, the kid won't have money, but the parents will.\nIn criminal offenses, make the kids accountable for their actions. Parents can watch over their kids 24/7. There's time before school, and the time after school, and the going to friends' houses that parents can't be there.

I am sure that was a .64  since a .08 or a .10 is legal drunk,  and a .6 would be basicly dead.\n\nWhat you will be ticketed for ( and normally sent to your parents) will be a minor in possession  and I would say that most likely the parent there should be in jail now if the officer did thier job property for allowing unage to drink and providing it, ( even if they did not physcialy provide it, since it was there and they were there)\n\nNormally you will have either a fine or community service and osme probation time.\n\nBut no, they can send a ticket to you in the mail, not uncommom or come latter and arrest you and take you in and make your parents come down and get you out of lock up.

YES.  They absolutely should.  This 'minor' shit is completely irrelavant.  They were fully aware of what they were doing at the time they were doing it.  They should be held 100% accountable.  Their parents should NOT be punished, unless they were accomplices.  Our judicial system is absolutely ridiculous.  It's sad.  Seems they defent the criminals and not the victims most of the time.

Not sure if there is an ACTUAL law but there are laws about children being seriously at risk of harm etc.  You would have to look at the whole picture.  How old are the kids?  How old are the friends?  More importantly are the friends sober and drug free with a decent understanding of morals, non violent, patient etc. etc.

depending on the state and judge is what counts. In california many are given a citation with a court date.If minor has no prior history of possesion he could be given a fine to pay and/or community service.But dont worry about that start worrying of re ridding the use of the drug and the addiction

The same logic that allows an 18 to go to war, but not to drink until they are 21. It's retarded, my daughter had the same deal when she was 18. It's asinine.
