Punish the people who went out and rioted instead of trying to vindicate them by playing the blame game.

Parents are responsible for their children until they reach the age of 18. That's the law. Punish parents who do not take responsibility. Currently we shy away from it, and that's taught people to completely disassociate themselves from their kids wrongdoing. If we did hold them responsible - as we are able to do under the law - it might send out the message that you can't pop out kids without taking full responsibility for them and teaching them what's right and what's wrong.
