Is Your Kid a Bully?

If yes, depending on the state in which you live, you could be civilly or criminally liable for damages resulting from your child’s bullying. According to Michelle Fabio of LegalZoom, 47 states have some kind of parental liability law where parents can be held responsible for the actions of their children. Talking to your children early on about the consequences of bullying can be important deterrent against bad behavior.
