should parents of bullies be held liable?

35. The bus driver on my grandkids bus tell the kids not to talk loud and by god they don't. He

isn't mean but the BUS DRIVER sets the rules on their bus. There are cause and effect when a kid doesn't listen. I remember when my son was in high school and he was taking the bus he accidently left a empty can on the bus. He was kicked off the bus for a week. I thought there had to be more to this story and I thought my son was lying to us. Come to find out it was true. I couldn't believe it.I asked why couldn't there be a punishment like making sure he cleaned the bus out or washing the bus windows. No that is what he did. He damn well learned from that. The next year we drove him to school and back until he got his drivers licenses. He graduated in 1990 and he still is driving that same truck. I don't automatically think my kid is right all the time. If my kid was bullying a child I'd want to know and nip it in the butt.
