Punishing Parents

[Nebulous]

It is important to punish parents for the misdeed of their kids?

Why or why not?

For me I guess it depends on the misdeed. Like if they destroy someone's property then yes they're responsible. But if they're like adults obviously not.

Holding parents responsible for the crimes of their children is just shifting the blame, which does not address the problem. This only makes it much easier for children to misbehave as they know that their parents will take the blame and not themselves.
