Fond du Lac, Wisconsin plans to fine children for violating the “Safer at Home” order imposed by Governor Tony Evers:
Using a playground is an example of a forbidden activity.First time offenses for 12 and 13 year olds are $90. Teenagers between 14 and 16 years old could pay $187. Anyone older than that would be looking at a fine of up to $313.
It could be worse:Parents and guardians could be cited too.
If fining children for using playgrounds doesn’t make COVID-19 disappear, authorities will be forced to escalate. After filing charges, perhaps the next step will be summary executions. Anything to save lives.[Police Chief William] Lamb says the fines are meant to be a compromise between no punishment and filing charges.
