The kids aren’t alright — and their parents won’t be, either!
Moms and dads in a New Jersey suburb can be tossed in prison and fined for their badly behaving children — under a bonkers new ordinance that some say strips parents of their rights and potentially sets a “dangerous precedent.”
The new law in Gloucester Township, passed in late July, is called “Minors and Parent Responsibility” and stipulates that parents will be held “accountable for public disturbances caused by” their child, and could go to jail for three months if their kids are found guilty of multiple offenses.
“Parents are feeling pretty outraged,” Alex Bougher, chair of the Bergen County chapter of parents’ rights group Moms for Liberty, told The Post Tuesday. “They’re getting attacked from every angle here.” 3
