Summary
Amends the Criminal Code of 2012. Creates the offense of parental bullying. Provides that a parent or legal guardian of a minor commits parental bullying when he or she knowingly and with the intent to discipline, embarrass, or alter the behavior of the minor, transmits any verbal or visual message that the parent or legal guardian reasonably believes would coerce, intimidate, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress to the minor. Provides that parental bullying is a petty offense. Provides that if a person is convicted of parental bullying, the court shall order that person to pay for the costs of prosecution and that a portion of any fine imposed, as determined by the court, be placed in escrow for the purchase of a certificate of deposit for use by the victim when he or she attains 18 years of age.

So any parent that says “No” to their child would be guilty of this. How do you (an adult) gauge emotional distress on a child that doesn’t have control of their own emotions yet? This would essentially eliminate the ability to discipline a child when they do something wrong or don’t get what they want.

Yet another ridiculous example of government trying to run our lives.

So, let's examine this Bill a bit.

If you tell your kid to "Go to your room", you can be cited and fined?

If you tell your kid to "Clean up your room", you can be cited and fined?

If you take your kid's phone? Man, that could be a felony.

What a generation of kids this Bill would bring if it became a law. I can't imagine even a liberal crap pit like Illinois government would vote for it. Maybe the (assuredly ultra liberal) legislator who wrote it needs his constituents to like him a bit? He puts out a Bill with no chance of approval just to please the constituents? Happens all the time.
