text: New South Wales to introduce 'parenting contracts'
  
  February 6, 2006 
  
  New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma announced Sunday that his government would be introducing "parenting contracts" for parents of children who are at risk of neglect. The contracts are the next element of the government's "respect and responsibility" reforms announced last month. 
  Premier Iemma believes that the contracts will help to reduce juvenile crime by forcing parents to take responsibility for their children's actions. 
  Parents would be forced to sign the contracts by the children's court. They could require parents to attend parenting classes, undergo counselling, stop drug use or stop consuming excessive amounts of alcohol depending on the situation. The NSW Deparment of Community Services would be allowed to apply to the court for the contracts to be drawn up.
