Going after bully parents

If you’re a bully in Wisconsin, your parents could pay the price…literally.  A recently passed anti-bullying measure allows authorities to cite parents of children who repeatedly harass other kids.  Officials say they will only ticket parents who are “obstructive or uncooperative” and that the law will be used as a last resort.  Parents can only receive a citation if they’ve already been warned by the police about their child’s bullying. The groundbreaking anti-bullying effort is reportedly a response to the recent increase in teen suicides and school shootings.  Experts say it will hopefully encourage parents to become more involved in their children’s lives. 

What do you think???
