Are parents responsible if their child scrapes a new car and sells it?

In daily life, if parents neglect to take care of their children when they go out, the children will "get into trouble", and parents need to bear responsibility for their children, sometimes even at a high price.

A few days ago, a child in Guilin, Guangxi, sold his new car with 10 scratches on it, and his parents finally gave him a large amount of compensation.

A few days ago, when a child in Guangxi was looking at cars with his parents in a car sales hall, he scratched 10 cars with pebbles while the adults were not paying attention. Finally, after mediation before the case was filed by the People's Court, both parties voluntarily gave up assessing the losses, and Mr. Zhao and his wife paid a one-time compensation of 70,000 yuan to the car sales company. In fact, it's not uncommon for kids to spray-paint cars with flowers. In Jiangsu, there was an 8-year-old boy who scratched 8 cars, and his parents lost 70,000 yuan.

The public has opinions on this.

Citizen Ms. Guo: We should compensate. It is a parent's dereliction of duty to care for and supervise their children.

In fact, it is not uncommon for children to get into trouble when they go out. Some parents will use excuses such as "the children are still young" or "the children are not sensible" to excuse them, but some citizens believe that even if it is their children's "ignorant behavior", as parents, they must stand up and bear the corresponding responsibilities.

Ms. Guo, a citizen: If the child is still a minor, the parents must be held responsible if they do something wrong. If your child is not well educated, you must be responsible.

The law clearly stipulates that if a person without capacity for civil conduct or a person with limited capacity for civil conduct causes damage to others, the guardian shall bear tort liability.

Lawyers remind that reasons such as "the child is still young" and "he is not sensible yet" are not excuses for parents to evade legal responsibility. When taking children out, management and protection must be strengthened.

Xu Jiehua, a lawyer at Guangdong Rongjiang Law Firm: Parents have the responsibility to supervise minors. Although children are young, they cause damage to other people's property. As long as they are minors, the responsibility lies with their parents. When they go out to play, they should take care of their children and not destroy other people's property. For example, if a student destroys a bicycle, the parents must be held responsible and liable for compensation.
