Parents are responsible for their children and responsible for teaching them right and wrong...

Well, that really depends. While some children are capable of discerning the difference between right and wrong and while those children tend to base their decisions on that ability, not all children fall into that catagory.
Most major religions, as well as many historical texts and legalalities within many countries have a set "age of responsibility" at which most children (it ranges from age 8 to age 12 typically) are fully capable of understanding the ramifications of what they're doing.
I'm not quick to blame a parent when something goes ary but at the same time, when we live in a society where a six year old brings a gun to school and shoots his teacher because he's mad that she put him in time out....who do we turn to? The parents, for not having taught him better boundries or about consequences.
Some things are beyond the control of the parent but many, many others could have been avioded had the child been raised differently.

well, parents need to teach their children right and wrong, and how to take responsibility. thats obvious. some parents use threats and yelling to "teach" them how to behave, but all that does is teach them to not get caught. so in that way, the parents didnt do their job right.
There is no way for parents to constantly monitor thier kids behavior. There is also no gaurentee that children are always going to care what their parents think of their behavior. Thats why its so important to raise kids to want to be good.
But in those frequent cases when the kids do what they want, despite the parents best efforts, it is not right to blame the parents. If the children do not see the consequences, and do not experience regret for what they have done, they are not going to change. If they think that they can get off scott free by somehow placing blame on their parents, then where is the initiative to behave?

I used to blame my mother for the way I grew up because she was never there.... As I got older I realize that I know right from wrong with or without her help, and so I cant use her as a crutch anymore when things go wrong in my life. Now I'm grown and I take my own licks.... always have, always will. And I guess her never being there made me one strong chick. Oh yes because I am a sweetheart but my heart dont pump kool aid. As a child though, you have every right to blame your parents. They made you. You didnt ask to be here.

Because parents are suppose to teach their children responsibility.

I remember I used to blame my dad for certain negative behavior etc. I no longer do when I read this article many years ago about twin boys. One an alcoholic, wife beater, nothing going right for him in life. If you were to ask him how he turned out this way he will say its because of his father. His twin brother turned out to be very successful, never let alcohol touch his lips, has a loving wife. an all around success in life. If you were to ask him how he turned out this way he would say its because of his father. We make a choice on how we will use our life experiences. We can use it as a stepping stone to better ourselves or use it as an excuse for failure. Take responsibility for your own life.

Children imitate their parents. Do you know many parents that admit their wrong or that responsibility?

we gotta walk in their shoes, for a bit, at times, think it is true, look at some of the answerer's answered about Fathers day, not everyone grew up in a rose garden, between wars, drugs, booze, allot of parents couldn't or wouldn't be responsible

Because this society has become one with no personal accountability...which is, partly, the fault of those who raise children and fail to instill the accountability.
But, people have to grow up and act for themselves too....
