should kids be punished due to parents' actions?

If a parent is banned from attending a game due to breaking the parental code of conduct, there's really no way to enforce it. So, if a parent doesn't comply with the ban, should the next step be suspending the child from the next game?
On one hand, it's so unfair that kids' suffer because their parents are disrespectful creeps. On the other, there's no way to make a parent change their behavior if there are no enforceable consequences. |

It depends on what the parent did to break the code.
At a minimum, the kid is benched until the parent leaves. If they broke the code in a way that put kids at risk, then the child is expelled from the program. There shouldn't be any waiting till the next game nonsense |

| If a parent does something so egregious that they get banned, I would hope that shame would keep them away. If not, the whole family should get the boot |

Actions have consequences which affect people other than yourself. This is a prime example. So no, it’s not fair, but it’s what must happen and sometimes, many times, life is not fair. |

Really depends on the age of the kid and what kind of team it is.
Usually the kids of parents like this are cut at the first logical opportunity |

| There is a soccer league that ejects the coach if a parent gets a red card. |

in travel, the coach is expected to control the parents. The coach gets carded if the parents cross the line. For some leagues, the club will also be fined |

I wish baseball would do the same. Toss the coach if that horrible baseball mom or dad won't stop chirping at the umpire |

In softball this is the clear expectation. Coach is responsible for parents. |

| In our soccer league parents get 3 strikes. If you are kicked out the 3rd time , you aren't coming back. There are exceptions like violence or something. In all the years I've been in this league, I've only seen a parent get completely banned once and she was AWFUL. The other parents tried to come together to get their kid to and from practices (dad handled games). It only lasted for a couple weeks because mom was so convinced she was in the right that she pulled her kid from the league |

+1 On my son’s baseball team, the expectations are made crystal clear at the parent meeting at the beginning of the season- one warning, 2nd offense is removal of your child from the team. Also this type of behavior will get your kid blackballed - the coaches do talk- travel ball is a relatively small world and wors gets around. I feel really bad for kids with parents like this. |

Where do you play softball? I've never seen that happen? But we've only been in travel for 2 years, at the B level |
