REDWOOD, N.Y. – The “parents” of a Jefferson County, New York student face criminal charges after their son missed or showed up late for 76 days of the 180-day school year.

State troopers in Alexandria Bay recently issued appearance tickets to Dominic M. Cappuccetti, 52, and Heather M. Bartlett, 44, to face a charge of child endangerment in Town of Alexandria Court, New York Upstate reports.

Court records show the couple’s 9-year-old son either showed up late or did not come at all for 42 percent of the school year.

“Bartlett and Cappuccetti are accused of allowing their 9-year-old son to miss 46 full days of school and be tardy for 30 days during the 2016-17 school year,” according to the news site. “Out of the 30 tardy days, 26 were unexcused.”

In New York, those who “knowingly act in a manner that is likely to harm the physical, mental or moral welfare of a child who is less than 17 years old” can be charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

The case against Cappuccetti and Bartlett was result of a collaborative effort between the state police and Jefferson County Child Protective Services, according to WIBX 950.

The couple are scheduled in court on the endangerment charges on June 27, but Cappucetti faces other legal troubles, as well, WWNY reports.

“Cappuccetti was also wanted by the Watertown City Police Department on an arrest warrant for petit larceny,” according to the news site. “He was turned over to the Watertown police without incident.”

Several folks who weighed in on the situation on Facebook seem to think the parents got exactly what they deserved.

“This is great. It’s called being irresponsible,” Molly McKee Ryan posted. “The kid is 9. He’s not in charge.”

“Should happen more often!” Sharon Villeneuve wrote.

“This is a sad reality as a teacher!” Kayla Garrison posted. “I am very happy that they were charged, that very rarely happens!”

Others seemed to think the charges are too much.

“I get that education is important, but endangering the welfare of a child?” Alex Raplee wrote.

“I missed way more than that when I was in school! I think endangering the welfare of a child is pretty extreme especially if he’s making up the work and still passing,” Alyssa Avino added.

“My son has missed this many days, he’s also been in the hospital 3 X’s this school year, multiple health issues, he does the best he can. We do the best we can. Sometimes we have no control over the issue. You can’t judge everyone in this situation, some have true legitimate reasons for their child missing school,” Christine Wagner-Faherty posted.

Still others tried to politicize the issue.

“Bet theyre trump supporters (sic),” Chuck Ki-Shin Kaczmarsky wrote, “they both look like drug users too.”

“I bet they (sic) both trump supporters,” Ronnie Brock commented.
