Another reason is, a lot of parents in the U.S are middle class and can not ACHIEVE the amount of money that the vandalized place or company is asking for. Additionally, parents should have to pay for their kids damage because they were not the ones that made the damage, SPECIFIC people should pay for the damage caused because they were the ones that caused the damage.
