In NY town, parents may do time if their child does crime

North Tonawanda resident John Zaleski, a 93-year-old former Marine, poses while being interviewed, Thursday, Oct. 12, 2017, in New York. North Tonawanda’s city council passed an anti-bullying law holding parents accountable for their kids. Zaleski said parents should be responsible for steering their kids in the right direction, adding he wouldn’t have needed the threat of jail to respond if any of his 11 children got out of line. “They’d be sorry I found out about it,” he said.
