    They should for sure. I think schools are doing that now too ... as they develop a zero tolerance attitude towards bullying.

    Parents should want to be involved in "rehabilitating" their kids who are bullies.

    The sad part is often that kids who are bullies are often bullied by their own parents. So their parents often don't really care.

    Absolutely. even if they are >21... its basically the upbringing and the foundation that parents lay or portray during their child's childhood.

    If parents know or suspect that their kid(s) is a bully, then they should be held responsible.

    I find it ironic that parents of one or more bullies are not present and active until something bad happens (e.g. murder, abuse, arrest) to their kid(s).

    It depends on a lot of factors, but probably not. Kids that come from good homes do bad things all on their own ya know.

    Victims' parents need to be held accountable for destroying their child's self esteem. Emotional bullying is only effective against children demeaned by their parents. Physical bullying need only be countered by the level of damage. Theft should be returned to the victim, by the bully, at least two fold. Bullies should have to repair temporary damage two fold. Permanent physical damage should result in extermination of the bully and transference of the bully's possessions to the victim. If the parents interfere, they can die defending the evil they inspired in their child. I'm sorry I'm being so cold about the evil, but I really am tired of it and it really does need to stop so we can concentrate on how to move a constructive society off this planet rather than this destructive rabble we currently run.

    Nobody holds adult single mothers responsible for their actions. Why would their failed spawn be any different?
