The one benefit to fineing the parents is that, if there is any relationship between them and the son, then they are more likely to put pressure on him to reform and repent. They may do more to help him change his ways. Also, they may be less likely to enable him in some of the many ways that some parents enable looser kids... letting them live with their parents till they're 30-40 yr olds who do nothing but leach off anyone who'll let them, have no respect for authority or anyone for that matter, and are total drains on society.
