Are Parents To Blame For Their Kids' Crimes?

Tuesday, April 14, 2026 • Duration 31:04

An inquiry into the Southport attack that saw Axel Rudakabana walk into a dance class and stab three girls, has blamed 'catastrophic failures by agencies and the killer's irresponsible parents'. Following on from this, Petrie is asking if you feel that parents should be able to be held accountable by law on the actions of their children. In America, there are negligence laws that target failure to supervise, particularly in instances of school shootings, cyberbullying, and vandalism, with potential consequences including fines, mandated counselling, or imprisonment. Should the UK implement similar laws?

Petrie gets the opinion of Former Political Editor, Vincent Moss, before hearing from you as you get your chance to talk back.

Motoring Journalist and Broadcaster, Steve Berry, who you may also know from his tenure as a Top Gear presenter, details his passionate feelings on the topic. Transport and Travel Journalist, Ed Wiseman, also lays out his experiences before you get your chance to talk back.
