A Pennsylvania state lawmaker is planning to propose a bill ordering parents to pay a fine of up to $500 if their child is a habitual bully.

The legislation — which state Rep. Frank Burns (D) plans to propose — would require that school officials take action the first time a child bullies someone, The Washington Post reported.

If a child bullies someone a second time, parents would be required to take a parenting class.

Parents would have to pay a fine of up to $500 and/or take part in community service if their child continues to bully others.

“Bullying is underreported and often unaddressed in a meaningful way. When it’s not addressed, bullying can escalate quickly from taunts and hurtful online posts to physical assaults and — in worst cases — suicide,” Burns said in a statement.
