That applies to some countries, but most definately not all. For example in Sweden, a person can never be legally responsible for the action of anyone else, not even their children. What one do have though is a certain responsability of supervision. This is obvious tied with age and common sense. For example, you are not required to run after a 15 year old child when it is out to make sure what it do. Similary, for a case of purchase for example, it can't be done to start with to a minor (although court concensus and such has determined that lesser sales, like sending a child to buy milk and such is OK) is something that when a parent get to know about it and do NOT revoke it, gives it acceptance. Still, no legal responsability though.
