Parents in China may face punishment for children's bad behavior

A new law drafted in China may make it possible for parents to be subject to punishment for the behavior of their unruly and disobedient children.

Under the proposed family education promotion law, if children commit “bad or criminal behavior,” the parents and legal guardians could face punishment and have to take part in a family education guidance program, CNN reported. Additionally, the law also encourages parents to facilitate more downtime for rest and play in their children’s lives.
