When are parents vicariously and independently liable for the torts of their children?

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


In general, parents are not vicariously liable for the torts of their children. Some states have parental-liability laws that impose limited vicarious liability on parents for the torts committed by their children. Negligent supervision and negligent entrustment, however, can make a parent independently liable for the torts of his or her children.
