I understand that, however, it's almost a double standard----you're too young to stay at home watching a toddler, but since you did and something bad happened, you aren't too young to be responsible for it.
It just doesn't sit right with me. Something else is going on that hasn't been shown on the news (big shock, right?). This CHILD is probably going to take the punishment for a situation that was caused by irresposible adults.
