France and Italy Enforce Parental Liability for Damages in Student Protests
France and Italy have introduced or reinforced laws holding parents financially responsible for damages caused by their underage children during recent student protests. These demonstrations, driven by concerns over rising living costs, education funding cuts, and school conditions, have sometimes escalated into violence and property damage. Italy's new security decree includes penalties for parents and expands detention powers for minors, while France relies on existing civil liability laws and a proposed bill to enforce parental accountability. Both governments aim to address unrest through these legal measures.
