What the parents are made to pay, for their teenagers’ misbehaviors, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
The teenage drivers became a tool for the scam artist rings, after they were arrested, someone else is found, to replace them, and, all the police can do, is to “search upstream”, to find out the top of the chain, so the entire team of drivers can get taken down; but, as these teenagers committed the crimes, their parents may be forced to pay the responsibilities for their own teenagers’ behaviors, the parents must pay close attention to their teens, so the children won’t get mixed with the wrong crowds, and end up hurting themselves, as well as others too.
There had been, several cases where the parents of the teenager delivery drivers were made to pay; a sixteen-year-old driver, Chen started working as a driver for a scam ring three years ago, and, with other members of the scamming group, managed to scam an elderly woman for $1.87 million N.T.s, and although, he’d only received $2,000 N.T. of the total amount, but the Kaohsiung’s High Courts ruled, that the Chen’s parents needed to pay a total of $1.57 million dollars for his crime, reason being that in cases of fraud, there’s not a focus on the amounts being frauded, but the parents, because they’d not taught their sons well enough, they were also, at blame.
Last year, a teenager driver, Dai, falsified himself as a member of the law, took the falsified documents, scammed the victim, Huang for a total of $2.3 million N.T., and before he was able to spend the $10,000N.T. he’d earned for his “commissions”, he was arrested by the police; other than getting sentenced for a year and four months, he was also, made to pay the victim another $2.3 million N.T.s, but because he’s still a minor, his father who is his legal guardian, was responsible for paying the amount to the victim.
The Criminal Bureaus pointed out, that there are more and more cases of civil claims against the scammers winning, and the drivers are almost all underage, and the responsibilities to pay are on the parents’ shoulders; the police reminded the parents, to NOT mistaken that the adolescents won’t get punished severely, or that their kids only took the bonuses for the crimes and not been directly involved that they will walk away without a scratch.
So, because these criminal offenses were done by underage minors, that, is why their parents are being made to pay, and, if the parents are the ones, working hard, to make their young aware of the consequences of their own F***ED up behaviors, I don’t think it would be enough, because, as teenagers, their brains are not yet developed, that they can foresee the outcomes of their own misbehaviors, plus, the money offered by the scam rings are too enticing for the teenagers to turn down…
