RESPONSIBILITY 2: KIDS DESERVE BETTER

There are not blocs in children's minds.

Kids and their actions are, in partly, their guardians' responsibility. Kids must be educated as autonomous and critical citizens who are capable to reason their own ends, not politicians' or guardians' ends. That's because responsibility entails freedom, which means non-determined action and autonomy from the external causes in the material world. Kids deserve to become better thinkers. Caring for is not leaving.

Likewise, to form one's ends requires freedom from actual desires and impulses. But kids are dependent on guardians' choices. That's why children can't be morally accountable for their acts to norms of the society. Their parents are...  


It is said kids mirror a society. That claim may be true. But does school shooting mirror a society and adults? Actions, that is, mirror ourselves: we are in our actions, our internal essence is visible in  our actions. We are responsible for our kids actions, if Kids mirror a society's and their parents' world view, values and behavior. Absolute school leaving?


If the responsible action is the action expressing self-adopted ends and being free from previous physical contacts which forces one to act, kids can't be fully responsible for their actions, harmful or fruitful. Adults choose what their girls or boys do next. However, girls and boys are agents who cause their own actions. So, agent-causality would be the act without determining previous causes before an effect: kids' actions which determining causes are actors themselves.
