I did my best to teach by example. When my kids were young teens at the age when they a prone to start getting in trouble I had a talk with each one explaining the standards. 1. I would bail them out of jail for anything except rape or drugs. 2. If I caught them with drugs I would call the law. 3. I'd make sure that they made any court appearances as directed. 3.

If they caused the insurance to go up they would pay the difference. D. If I ever caught them drinking and driving I would cut their car in half and if it was in my car I was calling the cops, turning them in for drinking and driving and underage consumption. My oldest daughter was the first to get a ticket when she was 17. The oldest 2 boys knew better than to test me. She was afraid of what I would do. I simply reminded her of the rules. She paid her fine and the insurance company did not raise our rates. Never had a problem with the younger kids after that. 7 kids and none have been in jail or even arrested.
