The Township of Gloucester in New Jersey has implemented a new ordinance that holds parents accountable for their children’s unruly behavior. The Gloucester Minors and Parents Responsibility Ordinance allows for fines and even jail time for parents and guardians who fail to prevent their children from breaking the law.

The ordinance was put into effect after incidents of public disturbance involving minors at events like Gloucester Township Day and Drone Show. Last year, a brawl broke out during the event, resulting in 11 arrests, including nine teenagers. Three police officers were also injured during the altercation.

Due to concerns of similar behavior occurring again this year, the event was postponed. The ordinance covers 28 different offenses, ranging from felonies to minor infractions such as loitering, breaking curfew, or chronic truancy.

Parents will receive a warning before facing any citations, according to Gloucester Township Police Chief David Harkins. If a child is repeatedly found guilty in juvenile court, their caretaker could face up to 90 days in prison and/or a fine of up to $2,000.

The ordinance was modeled after similar laws in other towns, making Gloucester Township one of the first larger towns to adopt such measures. The Gloucester Township Police Department has been contacted for further comments on the new ordinance.

Gloucester Township is located approximately 15 miles from Philadelphia, making it a close-knit community with a focus on ensuring the safety and well-being of its residents.
