All this talk about child care negligence and Child Care Act and parents' negligence punishable by law is just futile if when it comes to basikal-basikal lajak (heavily modified bicycles) we just brush all that aside by saying parents should not be held liable for their children's action.
Sure or not parents don't know their children are kaki basikal lajak and since the children only sneak out in the wee hours of the morning when their parents are nicely tucked in, sleeping and snoring in bed, the latter won't know what their child or children are up to?
The parents aren't aware of the basikal-basikal lajak in their homes?
The children hide those offending vehicles so well out of sight, parents no have idea of their presence?
Well, how did the kids pay for the expensive modifications to the bicycles in first place?
Especially when these children are in their early teens not earning their keep.
Some kind philanthropist sponsored the costs of the modifications out of a sense of social guilt and told the kids to stow away the offending articles?
Maybe, maybe.
We never know, do we?
Hehehe😃😃😃
So yes, parents should NOT be held liable.
It's all society fault.
But, but....are parents not part of society?
That said, shouldn't the authorities be held liable too for failing to clamp down on illegal basikal-basikal lajak on the roads.
