Man, I mean it is shocking for me to hear a parent brought this law up as parents cannot really discipline their children in this country, You cannot hit kids to discipline them in USA, so it is very hard for parents do some magical parenting method that will make bully stop what they are doing. Looking on their demographic consensus, It is majority white town and they are a middle working class town, so seeing this kind of stuff really raises many questions. I def. don't think this a good idea and who ever that parent was, was just having a bad day and wanted to boost his/her EGO at that time. The focus should be on Mental Health here not paying fines for your children's stupidity.
