I think it would be good if the parent's know that thier kids are doing it. But, I'm sure the ACLU will get involved in any case that went before a case in court if it ever became a law. Therefore, you have the whole stop gap mesure of the law. It will go no where. I'm sure the law makers know this. Anyway, they want to get re-elected and a lot of those parents are voters, and I'm sure they look at that too. I'm sorry but I live in Gettysburg, and here our legislators only vote according to the people who care about the battlegrounds. They don't even realize that we have any problems. I have gone to them about things like this, and other things and they know nothing about it. They didn't even know we don't have any form of public transportation here. They had nerve enough to tell me, a disabled person to take a taxi! I informed them we haven't had one of those for over two years. They were shocked. I was speaking to them about single, and abused mothers with children at the time. So, about the Prosecute parents in RI, that's a pretty, how should I put this, upscaled state. More closed knit then Getty so the chances of that law passing are pretty thin. But, if it does I would try to stand up and cheer. It's about time someone did something about kids being bullied in anyway!
