emerged during the second half of the 19th century
Step-by-step explanation:
In the United States, juveniles were tried in criminal court as an adult subjecting children to the same punishments as adult criminals. Originally parents were not responsible for their children's actions until the principle of parens patriae became a basis in the latter half of the 19th century. In the late 19th century, Three Supreme Court decisions and a separate justice system for juveniles emerged with the promulgation of laws holding parents responsible for their children's crimes. This approach was taken to ensure that children have the necessary and adequate care, supervision, and monitoring in their life which is in the best interests of the child and the entire community.
Holding parents responsible for the actions of their children first emerged in the legal system during the second half of the 19th century
