Just a hypothetical question, with no connection to any actual events...
Lets say a person, who happens to be a minor is engaged in fraud.
And let's assume that that fraud is being done with another persons computer. Like say his parents. And that for sake of argument the internet connection is under his parents name as well. And that the adult involved was informed of the fraud and refused to act.
Wouldn't that make the parent liable as an accomplice?
Sort of like if a kid breaks a window or damages a neighbors car the parents are responsible for paying for the repairs?
And could this apply to other situations like say harrassment or making prank phone calls?
