May one purchase crushed garlic?
Crushed garlic is to be purchased under a Mehadrin Hashgacha who verify that Kosher additives were added to the garlic to prevent the issue of it staying overnight.
Does the prohibition apply to egg powder and garlic/onion powder?
Some Poskim[1] rule that the above prohibition does not apply to powdered egg/garlic/onion.[2] Other Poskim[3], however, are stringent in this matter. Practically, the custom is to be lenient.

This is not accurate. While it is true that a father can be punished for not educating his child, and that a child can be punished for the sins of his father, it is not accurate to say that also a father is punished for the sins of his child. In essence, a child is not obligated in mitzvah’s and hence he does not deserve punishment for transgression, and punishment can only be given to the father if he should’ve educated him otherwise, however not if the child chose to disobey and transgress.
