In what ways do traditional parental responsibility statutes differ from vicarious liability? Why do we have vicarious liability statutes? Which do you think functions better: parental responsibility statutes or vicarious liability? Provide an example to support your argument

What will be an ideal response?


Traditional parental responsibility statutes aren't the same as vicarious liability. Parent responsibility statutes are based on parents' acts and omissions; vicarious liability statutes are based on the parent–child relationship. Vicarious liability statutes grew out of public fear, frustration, and anger over juvenile violence and parents' failure to control their kids.
