California Supreme Court upholds parental responsibility law
The California Supreme Court unanimously ruled that parents can be charged with a misdemeanor for failing to provide reasonable supervision when a child commits crimes or delinquent acts, reversing a lower court’s decision that found the law vague. The statute targets street gangs in Los Angeles and has led to about 1,800 parental referrals for monitoring and counseling. Pope John Paul II underwent medical tests after surgery for a benign tumor, with a Vatican spokesman saying he is healthy and the CAT scan results were normal.

The White House said the actions showed poor judgment though travel office bookkeeping was deficient. White House chief of staff Mack McLarty defended the course as right in intent but wrong in execution.
