Fine them for what?

For negligence. Clearly they don't have a good handle on what their child is up to.

There are real costs that school systems and public safety departments incur when there’s a false bomb threat.

There is also a cost when you think your child is missing, you call the police and you realize they fell asleep in their closet. (happens more often than you would ever want to know)

There is also a cost to a fire department if you leave a candle burning.

There is also a cost when the cops show up because your MIL forgot your house alarm code.

YOu can't charge people for services, your just irrational and emotional .

Don't look up 'Emergency Response Fee'. You might not like it.

DP. I'm pretty sure that PP knows about emergency response fees, which are bad public policy.

You have no idea what you're talking about. I have gotten bills from MCPD for false alarms. It's called the False Alarm act and they collect fees for it: https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/pol/howdoI/pay-false-alarm-fees.html

Have you considered adjusting your burglar alarm?



Every alarm user is allowed one “free” false alarm in a calendar year. False alarm response fees are imposed for the second and each subsequent false alarm. The false alarm response fee for residential and commercial alarm users begins at $25 for the second false alarm. Fees escalate to $1000 per false alarm for residential alarm users and $4000 per false alarm for commercial alarm users. Please refer to the False Alarm Response Fee Schedule for more detailed information.

Residential False Alarm Response Fee Schedule
Non-Residential False Alarm Response Fee Schedule

On the third false alarm in a calendar year, the alarm user must have the alarm system inspected by a licensed alarm company. The purpose of this inspection is to ensure that all mechanical components of the alarm system are in good operating condition and also affords your alarm company an opportunity to reeducate all those using the alarm system on its proper use.

On the sixth false alarm in a calendar year, the alarm user must have the alarm system upgraded to meet current county installation standards.

You will be considered in violation of the alarm law if you fail to :

register your alarm system
pay imposed false alarm response fees
upgrade the alarm system, as required

Alarm companies are prohibited from requesting police dispatch to your alarm signals for seven days after registration of the alarm system, unless there is a waiver granted by the FARS due to imminent danger to people or property. This is referred to as a “burn-in” or “soak” period.

So unless your MIL does it over and over again, there is no fee.

You signed something from your monitoring company when you bought the service that said you'd pay the false alarm fees. Little different from a bomb threats fee

Or your kid or your spouse forgets to disarm before leaving the house, as happened in my case.

Wow!

"Poor people don't deserve good schools."

Capitalism rewards hard work. That is why Capitalism--not socialism--- has produced thousands of advancements of goods and services that have have bettered society at an exponential rate. We went from tending Lord's farms and nurse maiding while living on cold earthen floors and dying of dysentery to practically stamping out disease, poverty and illiteracy in a handful of generations. All thanks to Capitalism. #KeepWorking

Agree! But that doesn't mean poor CHILDREN, who bear no responsibility for the failures of their parents, should be doomed to poor schools.

(And for whatever its worth, my father is a retired admiral and we rented forever and a day. Weird for PP to judge his well-behaved, driven kids on that.)

This argument consistently fails to persuade people who believe in the just world hypothesis. The logical conclusion is that they believe the children should have worked harder before being born, so that they could have been born to better parents.

My kids don't do well because we're umc. They do well because we have the culture and work ethic to be umc. I would love for progressives to do something progressive and go teach workshops of what that means to parents in other areas.

Here's an example: we had a neighbor on housing vouchers. She had 3 kids all different dads, ex felon the whole deal. One kid brings home homework and she reads it. Sounds promising so far right? Nope. The homework was an excerpt of British English where the mother in the story is called mum. The parent goes on a tirade about how stupid the teacher is and why should her son listen to this teacher if she can't even proof read her assignment. And the point isn't that she got it wrong. The point is that she started an argument with the teacher over this. Her idea was you make a stand and assert yourself with anyone infront of you to make them respect you. That's not the culture that leads to success in our society. I would have told my child that you will now be calling me mum until the school year is over because that person holds your future in their hands.

But the 12 year old doesn’t even benefit from it because the doesn’t even attend the HS. What’s the motivation? He’s just a loser jerk kid starved for attention.

And when you put enough kids who are taught that you get ahead by being argumentative and disrespectful into a school, you don't bring those kids up. You bring everyone else down. And for the record- they should throw those kids out of every school. Not just the high achievement ones. But you see less of that where property tax bills are larger because the family that made it up to afford those housed do not have a culture of confrontation and disrespect. You don't get ahead in the business world with that attitude
