Parents in New York town could face jail, fine under new anti-bullying law]ABC News ? Breaking News, Latest News, Headlines & Videos
Personally I don't agree with this law. Now a days parents are extremely restricted in how they are able to discipline their children thanks to a CPS that has far more power than it should. For troublesome children simply sending them to their room or putting them in a corner is not enough. (and even that I've seen considered as abuse by some people) Additionally we're supposed to punish those that violate our laws, not those that are related to them simply because they're related to them. And yeah, parents are supposed to teach their children. That doesn't mean that children won't be influenced by their buddies in middle school/high school where most bullying happens.
What do you think?
Parents could be fined $250 and sentenced to 15 days in jail, according to North Tonawanda City Attorney Luke Brown. Parents could face punishment if their child violates the city's curfew or any city law, including bullying, twice over the course of 90 days.
