"My Two Kids Were Out of Control Teenagers...But There Was Nothing I Could Do"
31 August - 55 minsUp to 1,000 children in Ireland have been flagged as “prolific offenders” — so what do we do with the parents? After the M9 tragedy, a Fianna Fáil TD says mums and dads should be fined for their teenagers’ crimes, with money taken straight from wages or the dole.
Jeremy says it’s the only way to force responsibility. Adrian says it’s pointless — punish the offenders, not the parents, because some families are already begging Tusla and the system for help.
With raw calls from Jackie, Mick, Grace and Joanne, the chat spirals into house arrest, boot camps, and even vigilante “punishment beatings”. Where do you draw the line?
