A parent's liability.

As a general rule, parents are not liable for the torts of their children. However, a parent may be held liable where the parent's alleged negligence consists entirely of the failure reasonably to restrain the child from vicious conduct endangering others, when the parent has knowledge of the child's propensity toward such conduct.
