This petition is collecting signatures for a new Texarkana city ordinance mirroring the (recently passed) Shawano, Wisconsin ordinance which ultimately holds parents of bullies accountable for the misdeeds of their children.
Anyone who`s researched bullying eventually comes to the conclusion that the only true solution to stamp out bullying is to hold the parents of bullies accountable for their kids actions. Only then will (disengaged) parents truly be forced to reevaluate their potential role in enabling their own child as a bully. A bully that could eventually wear another child down to the point of suicide... or to the point of accepting (life long) substance abuse... or maybe even to the point of picking up a gun and trying to one-up the body count for Columbine or Sandy Hook…
Please show us how much you care about the children by signing this petition!

The momentum is shifting. People are finally waking up to the reality that parent accountability is the only way forward.

I am currently gathering legal feedback on how we can adapt this framework for local council review. The silence from city hall is telling but we are not going anywhere.

We have dealt with bullying a lot with my younger daughter. She's been the victim of hurtful words and name calling at school many times. Other parents chop it up to be "girl drama" which is a whole other problem in and of it self. But picking and bullying have became so heavy she didn't want to go to school. She's normally a straight A student, and loves everyone. "Mean girls" are bullies and it has to stop
I 100% agree with this. My children know that if I EVER hear that they were anything less than kind to their peers they will ABSOLUTELY be in trouble at home. Parents need to get a hold on the behavior of their children. Guide them, and show them consequences for their poor choices. We as adults have consequences for poor choices, and the best way to set your child up for success to to enforce right and wrong early.
I stand for this! All parents should be held accountable for their kids actions! Let's all join together and put an end to bullying!
As someone who was bullied a lot in high school, I fully support this proposed ordinance!
YES!! This is needed everywhere! Parents need to start raising their children better and being more involved!
This is a great thing!

My daughter gets repeatedly push, kicked, hit by other children. Field day the bullies parents were there and saw these girls push my daughter. The dad thought he would step up to my mother because she pulled my daughter back. So these girls wouldn't run her over again! Because she said to my daughter those brats almost did it again. He was mad, and got in her face! Luckily my mother isn't timid or scared of a man. He coward down once she let him see her crazy lol.
