Council have to tread carefully on this, as you cannot tar the parent with the same brush as the child. If you did that, then every tenant in the UK would be evicted for something.

That is a load of rubbish Arthur .
A )you are not a sitting tenant .A sitting tenant is someone who is living in a house when the owner is selling it ,i think you mean a
secure tennant
B) you need to take a close look at your tenancy agreement ,the council can and will evict families if they commit crimes or a person in the household is committing crimes ,I have given you the relavent section of my agreement which will be the same as yours you should read it
c) parents are responsible for their children and the person who's name is on the rent card is wholly responsible for people or family members living in the house .Eviction doesn't usually happen for one off minor offences it usually happens after a number of incidents and complaints .I have known people convicted of drug offences lose their house immediately though
