Who Is Responsible?

There are many kinds of accident have happened this year in Indonesia. And last time, a 13 year-old boy who drove a car on the toll road in high speed crashed another car in the opposite road killed 7 persons. I believe that the boy has to responsible for the accident because he should have known right from wrong. Besides that, if you do something, it becomes your own business. You have to take the responsibility. Other shouldn’t replace you.

The father didn’t pay more attention to his own child. It’s believed that as a parent, the father has to pay attention to his own child. However, when the father is too busy until he forgets about his own child. It’s the perfect opportunity for the boy to sneaks out from his father’s side. The boy must’ve known that sneaking out is not good, and he still do it without thinking what would happen if he sneak, took and drive the car. He has to be responsible for the wrong action that he has taken.

The boy’s father gives his child a car. It’s believed that it’s the wrong way for a father to give his child a car in that kind of age. However, the son was given a driver, why he didn’t ask his driver to drive at the first place. People often say that a 13 year-old child has known about right or wrong, so he must have known that he’s not been allowed yet to drive the car by himself. Some other people say that even at their 13 year-old or even a little younger than 13, they have already known that the thing is wrong and they aren’t supposed to do it.

            Many people say that the parents of the boy have to responsible for this accident. I know about it and I understand. However, it’s not all about the parents’ fault, because as a child, he also has to keep and manage their parents’ trust and goodness. Even though their parents have bad attitude or behavior, he still has to make his family and others proud of his kindness and goodness.

           

            So, because the one who drove the car is the boy, my opinion says that the boy has to be responsible of his own action. Because he is the only one who can make himself do something, why at the first time he didn’t think about it.
