Police arrested parents whose children were frequently skipping school after school officials unsuccessfully tried contacting the parents and holding meetings to address the issue. Schools and police believed parents should be responsible for ensuring their children attend school regularly and felt arresting the negligent parents would make them more accountable.
1. Police Arrest Parents
Sometimes kids skip school. This means that they do not go to
school. Kids need to go to school to learn.
People from the school call the parents of these kids. They want to
tell the parents that their kids are missing school a lot. Some parents
do not seem to care.
People from the school also try to set up meetings with these
parents. Some parents do not come to the meeting. They do not seem
to be worried that their kids are skipping school.
The police and workers at the schools are unhappy that the parents
do not do something. They think that parents should be responsible
for keeping their kids in school. They decided to do something to
make the parents responsible.
The police looked for these parents. Many of them were found and
they were arrested.
