Might as well...Democratic Chicago lawmaker Ray Lopez has proposed fining parents up to $5,000 for “out of control” children after groups of teens over the weekend were behind a chaotic street takeover.

He noted that the goal of his proposal “isn’t just to fine parents — it’s to change behavior and to help parents so they raise better children.

Under Lopez’s proposal, any legal guardian who “willfully and/or knowingly” allows their child “to engage in a host of offenses wreaking havoc on the quality of life in Chicago neighborhoods” would be subject to fines ranging from $1,000 to $5,000.
