Share a cell with mom. Three months should do the trick.

Is spanking allowed in NJ?

Parents are responsible for their kids at least through age 18. Too many parents feel it’s someone else’s responsibility to watch over their kids. Nope...not any more. The chickens are coming home to roost.

NJ parents: get your little animals under control.

The sooner the better.

Or even six months.

And deservedly so.

Good question.

This law will only be enforced on white families, no way they will ever use it on families of color.

It would be rayciss to use it against POC.

Or try everyone as adults. If Mom doesn’t want to take the fall for little Bobby, it’s adios Bobby.

Loosers and criminals beget loosers and criminals.

Well, extend it to teachers and administrators if the bad kids misbehave at school. That would encourage a return of the “board of education”.

Might cure some of those cases of “Autism Spectrum” and ADD as well.

Marry before you have sex and have the father discipline the kids as they grow. Problem solved. Why is this so complicated?

Well, you can't go after the baby daddy if no one knows who he is. And it's granny or great granny raising the kid - it's not like there's a mother around to arrest either. So you can only enforce it against parents who are parents.

Yesterday I said that’s what should be done in DC — prosecute the parents of all the underage criminals.

[MayflowerMadam]

“no way they will ever use it on families of color.”

Because they NEVER will be able to identify, much less find, the fathers.

The Republican should take this and run. It might help them win. Say no to parents being in jail. I think they should be if the republican can get these pissed off parents to vote for them, they could be the whole ball game especially how close the race is. The education discussion worked in Virginia four years ago.

Bravo bravo... applause... finally something that will make parents more responsible

[Albion Wilde]

Ping!
