Under a new ordinance in a New Jersey town, parents can be fined and even charged for their children’s unruly behavior.

The Township of Gloucester Minors and Parents Responsibility Ordinance stipulates consequences, including jail time, for parents and guardians who "fail to prevent their children from breaking the law," according to a news release from police. 

The ordinance was passed by the Township Council July 28 and was introduced after incidents of public disturbance involving kids at events like last year’s Gloucester Township Day and Drone Show.

During that event, a large brawl involving teens broke out, and 11 people were arrested, including nine teenagers, according to NJ.com. Three police officers were also injured during the melee.

The event was postponed this year, the outlet reported, because social media posts suggested similar behavior was planned. 

The ordinance includes 28 different offenses that range from felonies to minor infractions such as loitering, breaking curfew or chronic truancy.

"If a child is repeatedly found guilty in juvenile court, their caretaker could face up to 90 days in prison and/or a fine of up to $2,000," the department said. 

Guardians will be issued a warning before a citation, Gloucester Township Police Chief David Harkins said, according to NewJersey.com.

"Our ordinance was actually sampled from other towns," he explained. "We’re not necessarily the first, but we’re probably the first bigger town to adopt it."

Gloucester Township is about 15 miles from Philadelphia. 

The Trump administration is seeking $1 billion from UCLA to settle discrimination and antisemitism allegations in exchange for restoring more than half a billion dollars in frozen grant funding to the university. 

The proposed agreement sent to the school Friday requires UCLA to pay the federal government $1 billion over multiple installments, along with establishing a $172 million claims fund for alleged victims of violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

The Trump administration has already suspended $584 million in federal grants from UCLA after the Justice Department announced it found the school violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, UC President James Milliken said the university system had received the document with the offer and was reviewing it. 

"Earlier this week, we offered to engage in good-faith dialogue with the (Justice) Department to protect the university and its critical research mission," Milliken said. "As a public university, we are stewards of taxpayer resources, and a payment of this scale would completely devastate our country’s greatest public university system as well as inflict great harm on our students and all Californians.

"Americans across this great nation rely on the vital work of UCLA and the UC system for technologies and medical therapies that save lives, grow the U.S. economy and protect our national security."

"Demanding $1 billion from a publicly-funded, leading research institution is a misuse of tax dollars that will hurt the University’s mission of serving students and the public," he said in a statement. "UCLA, and the larger UC system, has taken meaningful steps to make it clear that combatting antisemitism and protecting Jewish students, faculty, and community members on campus is a top priority."

"They have been committed to increasing security, strengthening policies against hate, and engaging directly with Jewish voices to better inform their approach," he added. "If the Administration’s mission is truly to protect the Jewish community, they would be supporting that work – not hamstringing it with these outlandish demands that would only take away needed resources and services for students and faculty."

UCLA PAYS BIG SETTLEMENT OVER 'JEW EXCLUSION ZONE' DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS FROM STUDENTS

California state Sen. Ben Allen, a Democrat whose district encompasses UCLA, said the Trump administration's demand is "harming the engines of American power, innovation, and, indeed, greatness."

The move came a day after California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized settlements between Columbia and Brown universities, both Ivy League schools, and the Trump administration. 

"We’re not Brown, we’re not Columbia, and I’m not going to be governor if we act like that," Newsom said while speaking in San Francisco. "Period. Full stop, I will fight like hell to make sure that doesn’t happen."

Columbia will pay more than $220 million to resolve multiple federal civil rights investigations, including $21 million to settle claims of antisemitic employment discrimination against Jewish faculty after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks in Israel. 

Brown will shell out $50 million over a decade to state workforce development organizations as part of a deal struck with the U.S. government.

In July, UCLA agreed to pay $6 million to settle a lawsuit brought by Jewish students and faculty members over the school's handling of anti-Israel protests, including allowing protesters to ban Jews from a part of the campus known as a "Jew Exclusion Zone."

The lawsuit was brought last year by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which accused UCLA of "aiding and abetting" an antisemitic culture, including "segregating Jewish students and preventing them from accessing the heart of campus."
