Parental Responsibility
Parents are not vicariously or strictly liable for torts caused by their minor children. This rule does not apply to the family purpose doctrine which can impose liability on a parent if the minor causes a vehicular accident while driving for the benefit of family. Additionally, parents can be pursued for negligent entrustment or negligent supervision of a minor in cases where the risk to the plaintiff is reasonably foreseeable to the parent/guardian. Nothing prevents an action directly against a minor though the parent/natural guardian and the minor must be personally served a copy of the lawsuit. There is an exception to parental liability up to $5,000.00 for damages negligently or intentionally caused to state property by a minor. See S.C. Code Ann. §63-5-60
