Parents Are Responsible For Actions Of Minors

Know Your Indiana Law By JOHN J. DILLON Attorney at Law (Copyright by John J. Dillon, 1970) (This Is a public service article explaining in general terms a provision of Indiana law. Individuals who wish to detesmine the effect of any law upon their private legal affairs should consult a private attorney.) Parents’ Responsibility For Juveniles In the wake of Increasing acts of wanton destruction of private property by Juveniles, the Indiana Legislature has seen Ht to pass a law which makes the parents responsible to answer In damages for the willful acts of their children. The law provides that any person who has real or personal property damaged can sue the parents of the Juvenile who damages property by Intentional, willful or malicious acts, Is under the age of 18 and Is still living with and In the custody of his parents. A person whose property Is damaged can recover up to the amount of $750.00. Because much of the destruction done by juveniles Is done to schools and other public property, the law specifically gives the State of Indiana and Its political subdivisions, such as school corporations, the right to sue under the Act

At common law, parents could not be sued for the wrongs of their children, unless the children acted at the direction of their parents. The Indiana Legislature In passing the Act fixing financial responsibility on the parents of juveniles who damage property was enunciating a policy requiring the closer supervision of the conduct of children by their parents. Although it was thought at the time of passage that this would bring greater direction by parents over their children In regard to property of others, It Is pretty evident that as of this writing the statute has not been used with the frequency that was anticipated.

It should be clearly understood that this law gives the remedy against parents for the willful acts of their children and not the negligent acts of their children. The wrongs must be Intentional, willful or malicious. It should also he pointed out that the Legislature provided a civil remedy In this instance. That Is, If a person Is Injured by a juvenile, he must bring a private action against the parents of the juvenile to effect a recovery. The county

prosecutor will not bring this action. The statute also must be read In the light of the general law of Indiana concerning the responsibility of minors, Minors under 7 years of age are conclusively presumed to be incapable of doing any negligent or criminal act A minor over 7 years of age, but under 14 years of age, Is presumed to be incapable of doing a negligent or criminal act, but that presumption Is rebuttable. In other words, it can be shown that In fact the minor had the capacity and the Intention to commit the act A minor over the age of 14 Is presumed capable of doing a negligent or criminal act In Indiana. You must remember that we are discussing the civil responsibility of parents of minors. Minors who destroy property belonging to others are subject to the Jurisdiction of the Juvenile court and can he punished as Juvenile delinquents, In addition to this civil recovery against their parents. And if an exceedingly serious crime has been committed the Juvenile court has authority to waive Jurisdiction over the minor and the county prosecutor Is then empowered to bring a charge against the minor under our criminal statutes and, If found guilty, the minor can be punlshed as an adult
