At what point are the parents legally accountable for the actions of their kids who get high on drugs?

Asked by Captain_Fantasy (11447points) March 12th, 2010

It seems whenever there’s a story in the paper about a kid on drugs who did something terrible, there’s almost an immediate public outcry damning the parents and demanding legal action.
So when a 16 year old goes out and gets high on meth and kills 3 people with his car, should the parents be prosecuted?
