Well, aside from most of the big stuff, the parents - in American society, at least; I don't know how it's handled elsewhere - are responsible for their children legally. If the police have cause to raid a house, and find drugs or illegal weapons in the kid's possession, the parents are legally at fault, even if they didn't even know about it. Any property damage that the child causes is defaulted to the parents (if they decide to pass it along, that's a private discussion). Things along those lines, and below.
