Restitution that Parents would be responsible for if child was convicted

If your child at the age of 17 has pleaded not guilty to a crime but is found guilty through a trial by Judge, and there is a restitution of $3600, would the parents be responsible for this full amount or is there a maximum amount that the parents are required to pay. Would the minor child also be responsible to pay a part?
