School district in Virginia (near DC) started arresting parents whose kids were tardy too often. First they issue Class 3 misdemeanors, which can bring a fine of up to $500 that is forgiven if the parents stop bringing their kids late to school (the family featured in the article had their kids late 30 times this school year, about 1 every 3 days).
