How responsible should you be if your kid does something stupid. Okay, how responsible should you be if your kid does something terrible. That’s the question at play in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin – where lawmakers are considering putting into place an anti-bullying ordinance that would fine parentsif their children bully others.
Earlier this month, the Wisconsin Rapids’ Legislative Committee voted unanimously to recommend the ordinance to the Common Council – that body will consider it on June 18th(Tuesday).
Apparently, the move was inspired by a viral social media incident, which showed a local middle school girl getting handwritten notes from her peers urging her to kill herself. If passed, the measure would hold parents and guardians responsible for such behavior – the first fineable offense would be $50, with additional costs bringing the total to $313. Parents would receive a written warning first.

New Honda Mower Can Hit 100 MPH -We aren’t sure why it’s necessary, but there’s a lawn mower that can go well over 100 mph. The thing’s so cool it already broke a record.
Honda's new Mean Mower V2 has broken a Guinness World Record, to be precise. The riding lawnmower can go from zero-to-100 miles per hour in six-point-29 seconds and hit a top speed of just over 150 miles per hour. This compares to an average riding mower that zips along at around five to six miles per hour.
To meet Guinness qualifications in addition to speed, the Mean Mower had to be able to actually cut grass and look like a functional mower. Honda's first Mean Mower debuted in 2014 and was only able to hit a top speed of 116 miles per hour.
