A car and a knife are different they can be used as weapons they aren't intended for violence(I assume you were talking about regular kitchen knives and not hunting knives), if a parent doesn't adequately explain and imprint to the child the dangers of using a car or a knife and if they don't supervise their children when in the use of such dangerous objects they should also be held accountable with respect to the child’s actions...I am talking about young kids who still need parental supervision not 12-17 year old jackoffs.
A parent is responsible for all their child’s actions to some degree, and I believe that sometimes that degree could be high enough to require punishment by law. Once a child can make the distinction between right and wrong at that time the degree of responsibility that a parent has in relation to their child in my mind is drastically reduced.
