Agreed.
But your hope is that, by teaching them right/wrong, they'll stay out of these situations
That's every parents hope and it's really their job.
But that's NOT the intent of the criminal justice system. It picks up where the parents leave off and has entirely different motives at that point.
Comparing parenting motivation to criminal law motivation just doesn't fit.
