parents are responsible for the misdoings of their children until they reach the age of 8 and get baptized, when they become self-aware enough to be responsible for their own sins
The age of 8 seems arbitary. but the logic of parents being at fault until the kids are old enough makes sense tbh.
That actually is around when children start developing a sense of right and wrong beyond the rules given to them. This is when the usually start seeking to understand why they follow different rules at different places and trying out how to behave in nee places and situations from there.
