Last night, the Wisconsin Rapids City Council discussed a new law that would fine parents up to $313 if their kids are bullying others.

The law was proposed by Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools Superintendent, Craig Broeren, after a viral social media incident showing handwritten notes a local middle school girl had received from her peers urging her to kill herself.  This law would hold parents and guardians responsible for such behavior of children younger than 18 years old.

What do you think of this law?  Does it make sense?
