Parents of bullies to face jail time
Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
If you live in a certain New York city, you could find yourself behind bars if your child is a bully.
It's all thanks to a new law in North Tonawanda in New York.
The law aims to discipline the parents as children are too young to face the penalties.
The law would threaten parents with up to 15 days in jail or a $250 (R2956.46) fine, or both if the child is found guilty of taking away the rights of another minor.

South Africa has had its fair share or viral school bullying videos surface online over the past year, especially cyber-bullying.
