Is this really something government should be doing? A fine for parents of their kid is accused of being a bully? It seems the definition of being a bully is played fast and loose by some . Do we really want this left up the government?

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Many kids face bullying and sometimes it can be very hard to stop.
Now, a Wisconsin town has a new idea: fine the bully’s parents.
The city council in Shawano passed a new anti-bullying ordinance. Under the new ordinance, police will warn parents if their child is involved in bullying.
The parent has 90 days to address the bullying.
If police think their kid hasn’t stopped the bad behavior, the parent will be issued a $366 fine.
A couple of other Wisconsin cities have a similar ordinance and city leaders said it’s making a positive impact.
