How about no one can be jailed for truancy. Fines yes. Locked up no.

How about no one can be jailed for truancy. Fines yes. Locked up no. You apparently didn't read the article. She had racked up fines. What if the offender never pays the fines?
Are the authorities just going to keep asking "pretty please?" in perpetuity? Stupid.

So what do you suggest we do when people don’t pay the fines? Fine ‘em again?

Ultimately the threat behind every fine is prison.
One wonders what the little darlings were doing instead of going to school.

Fines yes. Locked up no.Why bother with the fines if you aren't going to enforce them? They tried fines with this woman. She thumbed her nose at them. You'd just say 'OK' at that point?

The court costs were higher than the fines, and jail is for those that are unable to pay. I thought court costs were paid with taxes.

And if they just ignore the fines?
