The Department of Housing and Urban Development slapped a whopping $170,000 penalty on an apartment complex manager in St. Louis. The money is being split $83,000 to the residents allegedly being discriminated against, $15,000 for a trust fund for possible other claimants, and $72,000 to set up an on-site daycare center.
The violation: Requiring the parents to supervise their minor children if they were outside of the apartment.
No, there is no sense in the ways these laws are sometimes enforced. Perhaps the apartment manager should have taken a different tack and reported the parents to the local child endangerment authorities instead of attempting to impose parenting onto the parents.
