It may not seem fair, but before the parents sue, someone should sue the parents. Locally, one of the school systems had a problem with kids playing hookie. The parents of the kids would plead "My kid is out of control. I have to work and earn a living. I can't watch my kid all day long." They tried everything, but it wasn't until the authorities started putting the PARENTS in jail that the kids finally started listening. The kids (as all teens do) wanted the right to make adult decisions on their own. This turned out to be the only way the law could convince them that "like it or not, you're not an adult yet and your behavior will have an impact on your entire family, through your parents." This worked.
