Parental Responsibility

The City of Des Plaines has a parental responsibility ordinance that allows officers to fine parents who fail to exercise proper parental responsibility by allowing, failing to supervise, or permitting a minor to commit any violation of a city ordinance or state statute concerning battery, curfew, disorderly conduct, fireworks, indecent exposure, intimidation, possession of spray paint or permanent markers, obscene conduct, vandalism, trespass, truancy, loitering, possession of alcoholic beverages, cannabis, controlled substance, or weapons of any kind.

Parents can be fined for each offense, and can be forced to pay restitution when damage occurs.
