Parenting expert says parents should be fined if children vandalize property

What was said

"If your kids are going to get in trouble and they are going to vandalize property and start stealing stuff, then as a parent, you should forfeit that too. Pay the fine. Mind your teens, mind your children."

When discussing teen takeovers and youth violence, Frost argued parents must be held financially accountable when their teenagers vandalize property or engage in criminal behavior. She emphasized this is about parental standards and moral compass, not solely about lack of youth centers or socioeconomic factors, though she acknowledges both systemic support and parental responsibility are necessary.
