Introduced Text

Missouri HB2808 creates a new offense for parents who knowingly permit, encourage, aid, or cause their minor children to commit a crime.

Missouri HB2808 amends Chapter 568 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section, 568.076. This new law makes it an offense for a parent to knowingly permit, encourage, aid, or cause their minor child to commit a crime. The severity of the offense depends on the crime committed by the minor: it is a Class A misdemeanor if the minor's crime is a felony, and a Class C misdemeanor if the minor's crime is a misdemeanor. Each violation is considered a separate offense.
