Hold Parents Responsible for the willful misconduct of their sons/daughters when it causes physical harm to another

Charge Parents too for the willful misconduct of their sons/daughters that cause physical harm to another is the answer to lowering the crime/murder rate in America. There are too many killings/crime committed on innocent people where the perpetrator does not care or fill proud in some manner. I feel that if the consequence's for the act of willfully harming another extend to the parents of the perpetrator this will be a HUGE DETERANT! My daughter was murdered by a guy whom she had no issue nor relationship with. She was totally innocent. However, come to find out this was not the first encounter of harming another for this person and others. Clearly there was a issue in this family years earlier that should have been addressed. Children do not all of a sudden show violent tendencies out of the bleu. Parents have the duty to "PARENT" the children that they raise. Parents need to be held responsible for raising their children correctly and if they show signs of needing help it is part of their responsibility to get them that help. Do not just sit back and let them grow up to encounter someone else's son/daughter and cause that family hurt and anguish ( in essence becoming a problem of society). If these people know that their Mother and or Father will have to serve some mandatory jail time (maybe not as much as the offender) for their actions, I TRULY FEEL that some things would change.
