CALIFORNIA KIDS COULD FACE MISDEMEANOR CHARGES OVER BULLYING - RT.com reports: Young kids could face misdemeanor charges for bullying, according to a new law proposed in southern California. [image: http://www.deerparkbullyprevention.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/teenage-bullies.jpg] The legislation in the city of Carson would target anyone from kindergarten age to 25 who makes another person feel *"terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed or molested,"* AP reported. First-time offenders could be fined $100, while a second infraction would cost $200, and a third-time offense could entail a criminal misdemeanor charge. Adults who are involved in bullying would be charged with either an infraction or a misdemeanor, which could see them put behind bars. The law is also set to deal with different forms of cyber-bullying. *..."If a child is bullying someone, and a parent has to pay a $100 fine as a result of that, a responsible parent will realize their child needs some help,"* Councilman Mike Gipson said, Reuters reported. *California kids could face misdemeanor charges over bullying – what are your comments?**G**reg Dempsey * *http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SECULARHUMANIST/*<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SECULARHUMANIST/> *Voice of the Pe**ople* ===== Kindergarten cop: California kids could face misdemeanor charges over bullying *Published time: May 10, 2014 13:41 * *RT.com* *...It remains unclear how the legislation would be enforced, as infractions and misdemeanors are usually only proven when witnessed by a law enforcement official. * *"A fitness hearing would be required to try a child as a criminal," Lieutenant Arthur Escamillas told the local Daily Breeze newspaper. * *"But if you see a 4-year-old riding a bike down the street without a helmet, are you going to give a 4-year-old a ticket? It's discretionary," he added. * *However, those in favor of the legislation say it would give a signal to the parents that something is wrong. * __._,_.___ Reply via web post<https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/PresidentBarakObama/conversations/messages/50561;_ylc=X3oDMTJyaTdicG9lBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyMTU2MzUxBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MDM3NgRtc2dJZAM1MDU2MQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNycGx5BHN0aW1lAzEzOTk4NTIzNzg-?act=reply&messageNum=50561> • Reply to sender • Reply to group • Start a New Topic<https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/PresidentBarakObama/conversations/newtopic;_ylc=X3oDMTJmazkwbW9xBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyMTU2MzUxBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MDM3NgRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNudHBjBHN0aW1lAzEzOTk4NTIzNzg-> • Messages in this topic<https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/PresidentBarakObama/conversations/topics/50561;_ylc=X3oDMTM3M3BraTJkBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyMTU2MzUxBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MDM3NgRtc2dJZAM1MDU2MQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawN2dHBjBHN0aW1lAzEzOTk4NTIzNzgEdHBjSWQDNTA1NjE->(1) ------------------------------ Visit Your Group<https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/PresidentBarakObama/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJmam9xbnI2BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyMTU2MzUxBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MDM3NgRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzEzOTk4NTIzNzg-> [image: Yahoo!
