Question by Paul: Family court & the “Power of Ten” as related to Junveniles & Drugs; could it work.?
My question mainly addresses and idea of
“The Power of Ten” as applied to …
Under aged Juveniles,
Felony Drug “Use” or Distribution,
& The family court system.
Would a court fine;
of the parent(s) or their juvenile children in their care; who is convicted of misdemeanor “USE” , “POSSESSION” and or “DISTRIBUTION” of illegal drugs, alcohol & tobacco
be a deterant using the idea of “The Power of Ten”?
1st offence $ 100.00
2nd offence $ 1,000.00
3rd offence $ 10,000.00
If the national court system adopted this would it work?
Would it be a good idea or bad idea? Your serious opinion please!

I think it would be very difficult to make this work.
Most teenagers who are involved with drugs are not concerned about their parents being punished.I think the punishment should applied to the teen not the parent.
