The Only Thing More Expensive Than Kids Is Kids Who Are Bullies

In Monona, Wisconsin, parents can now be ticketed by police and fined in municipal court if their children repeatedly bully others.

Some bullying experts are praising the move. “Today’s bullying is literally a matter of life and death,” Steve Siebold, author of Sex, Politics and Religion: How Delusional Thinking is Destroying America, told TakePart. “I applaud the city of Monona, Wisconsin, for taking such an extreme measure. Many parents still brush off bullying as a natural part of growing up, and it’s about time the government starts cracking down on those moms and dads who fail to recognize just how serious bullying in the 21st century has become.”

The Monona City Council passed a broad anti-bullying ordinance in May. City officials told the Wisconsin State Journal that no specific incident led to the decision.

Before being ticketed, however, “a parent or guardian must be informed in writing by an officer of a separate violation of bullying by the same minor within the prior 90 days,” according to the Wisconsin State Journal.


Prepare for the discussion.
