“In general the father is responsible for the son’s behavior.”

At age 12,maybe,but not at 22.

Maybe a little bit of shame culture would be socially helpful?
“In general the father is responsible for the son’s behavior. He is NOT Legally responsible under most circumstances.”
WRONG. All good parents can do is teach their kids the right way of living. Then the kids get to make their choices. And by the way, nobody has perfect kids.
I had the talk with my sons when they came of age. I told them I was all done raising them and they were now on their own, good or bad. Told them if they got themselves locked up for doing something stupid, they were going to have to figure things out on their own because I wasn't coming down to bail them out or buy them a lawyer.
Fortunately I lucked out. All my children turned out to be solid citizens.
He raised him up to the behavior exhibited by the son. Maybe censure of the parent would reform the son?
Sometimes parents can do everything right and have one child throw it all to the wind.
Many of us have seen it.

My kids did well too. Hyper-individualism has its price. A little shame expressed to the parent will not hurt. After all he raised the kid and bears moral responsibility.
I have seen it myself with my now deceased brother. Parents bear some of the shame. Not all simply some.
The source spoke anonymously because no permission had been given to speak publicly about a personnel issue.
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Biden was discharged earlier this year after failing a drug test in June 2013. A lawyer and former lobbyist, Biden was commissioned as an ensign in the Navy Reserve in 2013. He applied for a commission in the reserve as a public affairs officer at age 42. Because of his age, Biden needed a waiver to apply. The Journal reported that he needed a second waiver because of a drug-related charge when he was younger, a request that is not unusual.
Rick must be a BAD MAN!
Gotta love the double standard, huh? What's worse than the double standard even, is the fact that we - yes, WE, LET THEM get away with it. Ultimately, the fact that the leftist extremists get away with so much rests upon OUR very shoulders. Ultimately:
"Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of the governed..."
When all is said and done, shame on us.
Dirty tricks operations are to be expected, groomed for release at the most crucial times.
They always have been and always will be nasty, and it is only just beginning.
That’s too bad. Hate to see young people create additional problems for themselves. If he’s 22 at the Citadel, he was probably about to graduate and get his commission. Thrown away for one night on the town. It’s a tough lesson, but better than what could have happened.
Kill this story.
Would we all want to be judged by what our immature college-age kids do, or have done?
Or by our own youthful indiscretions?
Just shut up!
I’m willing to bet you never raised a child.
I don't rightly see anyone judging his dad based on his indiscretions, just like I don't see anyone (other than Conservatives) judging daddy Biden over his son's indiscretions. The fact is, Santorum's kid got busted. I don't believe that's a reflection of who his dad is.
Five of them and they all did well.
Well, congrats on that. It is a difficult job to raise five, and you did it well.
They are all my darlings.
