    I agree, the parents should be punishable by law as if they committed the crime. Then they would pay more attention to their kids and wouldn't let them turn into little gangsters.

    The don't expose the identity of the child for a reason... probably safety... If the identity of the parents are exposed, isn't that also going to expose the identity of the child, or at least narrow it down?
