Criminal, violent, low IQ, impulsive, pathological parasites is more like it.
Good start, but cashless bail will ruin this effort!
How about the kids forced 30 days picking up roadside garbage, or cleaning up public parks?
How are they going to fine people money they don’t have? The Democrats started this problem 6 decades ago with their “War on Poverty” programs. It has become progressively worse since 2020 and will continue to do so.
I don’t understand today’s parenting.
My parents raised five of us. We all went on to be successful adults with spouses and families of our own.
My husband and I have raised three children. They don’t smoke, do drugs, no baby mommas, and waited until they were of age to drink. None of them were ever arrested and all were known as the “good kids” in school. The biggest drama they ever caused was not doing chores in a timely manner. One graduated college and is married, one in college for microbiology, and one preparing for college, finishing his Senior year of high school.
Stealing, flash mobs, violence, destruction of property...that would cause dishonor to the family name. Maybe my stern warnings of, “We are (family name), we don’t behave that way,” made the difference. Maybe the emphasis on learning and personal development, pointing to our successful ancestors and relatives, made the difference. Maybe having God in our house made the difference.
Whatever these parents are doing isn’t working. If I disgraced the family name (bad grades, disrespectful behavior, criminal activity) my mother and father would have taken me behind the woodshed and my siblings would not have let me live it down.
The deadbeat dads - and the majority of them are - won't even be in the picture.

Chicago is hiring garden gnomes, now?
Da fuq these schmoes hanging around for if they do nothing?
The "moms and pops" will simply say (via taxpayer paid lawyers) that they had no knowledge of what their precious youngsters were doing, so the fine wouldn't apply to them.
As always, liberals are treating the symptom instead of the disease.
How about arresting and jailing the perps while confiscating the vehicles?
Ha hahhahhahahahaha.
You all wanted to defund LE, right?
Their parents ‘don’t hab no’ three-fitty.’ (Hat tip South Park)
Those baby mamas are gonna pay with their EBT’s?
They take any form of control parents have over their children and fine then for not having control?
Confiscate their cars and auction them off.
The parent (there’s usually only one involved) can’t afford $5.00 and have no idea where there kid is.
Chicago like all liberal cites should be destroyed like Gaza.
There it is: We’ll deal with the BIG problems in Chicago……….like street racing….
Your dem pols at “work”…
What a bunch of buffoons.

How about just arresting and jailing the offenders instead?
Criminal, violent, low IQ, impulsive, pathological parasites is more like it.
the drag racing thing is happening here in my city also, they take over the streets late at night doing donuts at intersections and drag racing at stop lights. This all started happening about a year or two ago.
What fathers? They’re in the wind.
Put the kids in orange suits and have them clean the highway. Impound the cars and auction them off for parts, so the cars are destroyed.
...If you can find their parents.
Good luck collecting.
