WHO'S TO BLAME?

SHOULD PARENTS BE FORCED TO PICK UP TRASH . . . IF THEIR KID CONSTANTLY MISSES SCHOOL???

Here's our Question of the Day: If a kid constantly misses school . . . should the PARENTS be the ones who pay the consequences?

The reason I ask is because, right now, officials in Hamilton County, Tennessee are thinking about punishing parents whose kids consistently miss school . . . by forcing them to pick up litter on Saturday mornings.

And if the Saturday morning litter pickup doesn't get their kids back in school . . . parents could even be sentenced to PRISON.

A Juvenile Court administrator named Chris Albright came up with the plan. He says that right now, parents are given fines when their kids miss too much school. But the problem with fining parents is that most of them never pay up because, "they just don't care." (Chattanoogan)
