Does the Torah really mean that if a frum family has a child who leaves Yiddishkeit, becomes an addict, gets into big legal trouble, that his father and mother should be publicly held accountable? Isn’t that what Rashi is saying and does it not negate much of what we have learned subsequently . Can you imagine how hurtful this is for anyone who isn’t fortunate enough to have 100% sucess with all of their children. This affects people from the very best families.</p>
