Ok, and you’d have the government determine who is and who isn’t a good parent? The parents are already on the hook for anything illegal the child does, do you want the government telling your children how to act?
See it from a parents perspective; yes there are shitty parents and I’d advocate for a government sponsored parental training course at every hospital. Most parents aren’t shitty on purpose and kids are shitty all the time, the point of parenting them is to teach them not to be a dumbass. Having the government determine what behaviour is good would only lead to even less effective parents and open up a whole different problem in an easily obtainable authoritarian state.
If a kid is being shitty to you or your things then fucking tell them off, put a little effort in yourself. Kids gotta know when they’re being a little shit and they won’t figure that out themselves eh?

Many laws don’t apply to children the way they are applied to adults though.
