With this ordinance come rules. The fine can only be presented if a parent or legal guardian has been informed by an officer in writing that there has been a violation of bullying by their child within the prior 90 days. The cost of a first time violation is $114 and more than 1 violation in a year will carry fines of $177. Monona Police Chief Wally Ostrenga believes alerting and fining the parents is important because they teach values to their child at home. Parents must be aware of what their children are learning and must work to fix it; otherwise they will have to pay, literally.

Pay Up Parents
Monona, Wisconsin implemented an ordinance May 30, 2013 that
will fine parents for their child’s bullying.
This will only be used in extreme circumstances when parents are
uncooperative with officials or repeatedly ignore incidents by dismissing
accusations of their child being a bully.
