Carson City, CA just approved an ordinance which can charge kindergarteners with misdemeanors for bullying.
It covers not only physical bullying, but name-calling, spreading rumors and bullying online.
First-time offenders would be fined $100. A second infraction would cost $200, and a third-time offense could result in a criminal misdemeanor charge.
Talk about insane state control over our kids!

Let the assignment be paid by the child to learn from the incident don’t make the parents have to pay especially if they can not afford it. How will that teach the child?
Bunch of California mentally unbalanced idiots in charge!
They need their behind paddled the old fashioned way and not just pat their little behind and say don’t do that again!!!!!
The children do and say these things because that’s what they hear at home from their parents!
Have you been to Wal-Mart lately? Listen to the way parents talk to their children, then decide who needs to be fined, spanked,or have their mouths washed out with soap!
If you aren’t part of the solution then you ARE part of the problem.

Okay so while I support things that would end bullying, based on what we’ve seen from government, especially California’s government, it’s far too likely that anyone who stands up to bullies will probably be targeted, harassed, and likely assaulted. So yeah, $#%&!@* that.
This is what happens when parental rights to spank are outlawed. NOT beating, just consequences for bad behavior! I think the parents need to be cited for LAZINESS IN PARENTING!! It’s so much easier to distract a kid than to correct him/her.
Bullying IS wrong and needs to STOP!!
Sharron Raymond! Stfu! These are 5-6 year olds! Your an idiot! What logic is this punish the parents with a fine for there children being children! Get a clue lady! This is about money! As usual!
