Adam Mokelka typed an idea on Facebook, and tagged several lawmakers, to create a new law that would hold parents more responsible when their children commit a crime.

Mokelke is the father of Victoria. She was the girlfriend of David Grunwald, 16, who's body was found this past weekend after an extensive search in the Valley.

Grunwald dropped off Victoria near Butte the night of Nov. 13. Alaska State Troopers later found his 1995 Ford Bronco before noon the next day, burned and abandoned on a dirt track outside of Wasilla.

In part Mokelke wrote, "Parents should be held accountable for a minor's heinous acts. This is how we are going to change the system and help to prevent what happened to David from happening to others. If good parents have a child go astray through no fault of theirs and commit a horrible crime, a jury could exonerate them. However, right now we don't have this option. This has to change. I am going to make "David's Law" a mission in life and those of you who really know me know I move mountains when faced with a challenge. The parents of the kid who killed David should be held accountable for raising a monster, contributing to this act through their own negligence and criminal behavior. Ill (sp) be asking you to support this cause as the legislative session opens."

Mokelke declined an interview today.

Erick Almandinger, 16, faces kidnapping and first-degree murder charges in the case, and is currently the only person being charged, though other teenagers may have played a role in Grunwald's abduction and murder, according to the charging documents. Almandinger is being tried as an adult.

Lawmakers say they are still in the early stages, researching the concept and seeing if a similar law is already on the books, in other states.

"I'm intrigued by the concept," Sen. Shelley Hughes, R, a lawmaker tagged in the Facebook post said, "but I think we have to be very careful. There are good parents who have children who sometimes choose a bad path and I don't want those kind of parents hit up for something."

Newly elected Rep. DeLena Johnson, R, also said she was researching the concept.

"I understand a little bit about kids can do things parents don't know about," Johnson said, "but when you're talking about first degree murder, when you're talking about the kinds of things that have been uncovered and what's happening, I'm a strong supporter of parental rights, but anytime you talk about rights you have to talk about responsibilities."

Alaska law already holds parents accountable if they give their children alcohol and for covering up their crimes, but Mokelke wants more.

"I call on you to give courts the ability to hold parents accountable when a child murders another child." Mokelke wrote, "I call on you to pass a law that lets a court decide if the parent did their best and couldn't have helped it, or if they enabled, neglected, endorsed, supported, ignored, covered up, nurtured or modeled the behavior of a murderer. Sometimes good parents have bad kids. However, sometimes bad parents create monsters- and they have to be held accountable for it."
