Exactly.
In GA, the law is 18.
And so it seems the father should be responsible.
...but this circles back to my philosophical thought abt children being tried as adults.
The kid was 14 when he committed the crime – an age considered too immature to make one's own life decisions. An age w/ curfews, bedtimes & the inability to drive.
And yet he was tried *as an adult* & held fully responsible w/ life in prison (his dad got 15 yrs).
