TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! CITY COUNCIL PLAYS BABYSITTER & PUSHES KANSAS CITY ORDINANCE AGAINST CYBER-BULLYING!!!

It's almost back-to-school time but not until Kansas City Mayor Sly and Council offer one more ordinance to help babysit local youngsters.

To wit . . .

CHECK OUT A NEW KANSAS CITY ORDINANCE AGAINST BULLING AND CYBER-BULLYING AIMED AT MINORS AND THEIR GUARDIANS!!!

Ordinance #130569: Amending and adding a new section to Chapter 50, Code of Ordinances, by adding a new Section 50-244 prohibiting the bullying of a minor or the allowing of a minor to bully or cyber-bully another minor.

The penalty for running afoul of this new local rule . . .

"Upon conviction of a violation of this subsection, a parent, guardian or other person having custody or control of the minor shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $1,000.00 and costs. In lieu of a fine, the court may impose probation provided that a condition of probation is attendance in an available anti-bullying program . . ."

Given recent work dedicated toward reading programs, youth activities, curfews and now this anti-bully idea . . . Mayor Sly and City Council have dedicated quite a bit of time to legislating the behavior of Kansas City's "scholars."

Sadly, most of Kansas City's public safety needs are well beyond the scope of this kid's stuff. But for the moment yet another bit of feel-good legislation is up for consideration from a council that has (ironically) been bullied into submission by Mayor Sly.
