51. You are confusing personal responsibility and liability.
I understand that you feel that parents need to take responsibility. And I agree. But we arent discussing that. Whether or not parents are fully responsible for thier children has nothing to do with whether or not a corporation is liable.

Lets say hypothitically a restaurant was deceptive.

The parent is still fully responsible for thier child.
But along with that the restaurant is fully responsible for thier product and advertisement.

It doesnt reduce the parents responsibility for thier child to hold companies responsible for thier products and actions.
