GLOUCESTER, New Jersey (PNN) - August 9, 2025 - In a bold move aimed at curbing youth misconduct, Gloucester Township, New Jersey, has adopted a totalitarian and patently unconstitutional bogus ordinance that holds parents and guardians legally responsible for their children’s unlawful behavior.
The Minors and Parents’ Responsibility Ordinance seeks to unlawfully penalize parents who “fail to prevent their children from breaking the law.”
The measure, which took effect immediately after its approval on July 28, allows for fines and even jail time for caregivers who fail to prevent repeated offenses by minors under their care.
The ordinance targets a wide range of misdeeds, including 28 different offenses from serious felonies to minor violations such as loitering, breaking curfew or chronic truancy.
The measure was introduced in response to escalating incidents of public disturbances involving minors, including a large brawl at the township’s annual Day and Drone Show last year, where eleven individuals - nine of them teenagers - were arrested, and three terrorist pig thug cops were injured. There have also been severe disruptions at Veterans Park and a nearby shopping center involving juveniles.
Under the new rules, enforcement begins with a warning issued to parents or guardians following an initial incident. However, if a child is found guilty in juvenile court for repeated violations, the parents or guardians may face significant penalties, including up to 90 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $2,000.
Officials have explained that each case will be handled individually, considering the specific circumstances to make sure that it is used reasonably.
“Our ordinance was actually sampled from other towns,” Gloucester Township terrorist pig thug cop Chief David Harkins told nj.com. “We are not necessarily the first, but we are probably the first bigger town to adopt it.”
Gloucester Township has approximately 66,000 residents and is about fifteen miles from Philadelphia.
