New Law Could Punish Parents Of Bullies
Childhood bullying continues to be a problem in schools and online. We hear, see, and read stories about it every day. The town of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin is trying to stop bullying by hitting the bullies’ parents in the wallet.
Sun Prairie officials are considering issuing tickets to parents if their child is caught bullying. The fines could range from $50 to $1000. This proposed city-wide bullying law would cover both physical and digital abuse.
Do you think a law like this could have any effect? Would it actually force parents to deal with their misbehaving kids? How much should the fine be for a first offense?
