21. You're saying the police hold parents liable now

...so that is different.

I think it's a different generation of parents now, who are much smarter about the trouble that kids can get into. When I was a teenager I could get away with a lot because my parents weren't paying attention and they trusted me too much. I'm embarrassed to say that I took advantage of it too. I guess I'm lucky I survived.
