On December 5, 2012, at a meeting of the ethno-confessional council of the Astrakhan region, Governor Alexander Zhilkin proposed adopting a program that would allow parents to be held accountable for extremist statements and actions of children.
"It's time to develop we have an understandable program of influence on parents, all this is formed in the family. When a child is born, he does not know who he is - Russian, Kazakh, Lezgin. Parents should be responsible for the words spoken in the kitchen ," Zhilkin said.
It is not clear what measures impact is going to be applied by the governor to the offending parents, and on what regulatory framework does he plan to base it on, since such sanctions will inevitably be in conflict with a number of articles of the Constitution, starting with part 1 Article 23, which guarantees citizens of the Russian Federation the right to privacy and ending st. 51, which gives the right not to testify against close relatives, in addition, according to Russian law, liability for crimes or offenses committed by a citizen does not apply to members his family.
