Mom gets 3 years' probation for son's truancy
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The mother of a habitually truant school age kid was ordered to attend a year of parenting classes and make sure her son gets to school each day. The boy missed 278 days from kindergarten to the seventh grade. Besides the parenting classes and orders to get her son to class, the mother was placed Tuesday on three years’ probation.
City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo’s anti-truancy program, Operation Bright Future, has prosecuted 16 cases involving parents of habitually truant students since 2002.
