If those requirements are not met, the parent faces a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and must pay a $500 fine, according to the Ohio Board of Education.
Sounds good on the face of it, but I'm still not sure how to enforce it.

I'm also not real comfortable with making parents responsible for children they may not be able to control.

Say what you will, there are some kids who just won't be controlable.
