Proverbs 22:6: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Ephesians 6:4: "And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord." Ezekiel chapter 18 discusses accountability. There are laws of cause and effect. We may sometimes suffer for someone else's misdeeds. However, we all are responsible for our own actions, or lack of actions. Each will stand for judgment one day. There is no free lunch.
