No, the negligent parents get rewarded with your house and assets.

Kids should not be supervised at all times, but parents should also assume the risk for what happens when they aren't supervising their kids.

Managing risk-reward is a natural part of life and being an adult.

Attempts to completely eliminate risk leads to miserable lives and societies.

Covid response in certain jurisdictions was a great example of this. "If it saves even one more life, it's worth it!"
