Wrong. It's the PARENTS who take the fall for that. In California, particularly in Riverside County, they have a system set up that if you're caught truant and are in high school, your parents can get charged with a small fine for the first offense. Then, if the student doesn't have a job, the parents' fine gets double for each repeated offense. If the student HAS a job, THEY end up getting fined.
