Old Huang, did you see the news? Two 17-year-old boys urinated in a hotpot, and in the end, they and their parents had to pay 2.2 million yuan.

I saw it. It’s really absurd. Seventeen isn’t that young—they knew it was wrong and did it anyway. That’s a classic case of knowingly breaking the law.

Exactly. What’s worse is that they recorded it and uploaded the video, with no regard for public decency or others’ feelings.

The court’s decision for 2.2 million yuan in compensation seems fair to me. It protects businesses and serves as a warning to society.

But some people ask, why do the parents have to pay when the kids are already so old?

The Civil Code has long stipulated that when minors cause harm, parents are responsible as guardians. The older the child, the more it shows a lack of proper parenting.

That’s true. Many parents always say, 'He’s still just a child,' but then the child behaves recklessly and ends up hurting themselves.

So this 2.2 million yuan is actually an expensive lesson in the rule of law. Both parents and children need to understand: if you make a mistake, you pay the price—society won’t tolerate everything.

Hopefully, this lesson will make more parents wake up and truly guide their children, instead of spoiling them.

Exactly. Real love is teaching children to respect rules and become responsible people.
