As a parent, you are responsible for your kid’s actions and if they break the law–it could even end up in a fine to the parent, according to New York State. If your child is outside and riding a bike without a helmet, parents can get a $50 fine, WYRK reports.

The New York State law is that any child under the age of 14 years old must be wearing a helmet when they are actively riding a bike. If they are caught by police, they can get a ticket that the parent or guardian will be responsible for. According to the New York State website, the fine is 50 bucks and you can read the law word-for-word, below.

In New York State, all bicyclists under the age of 14 years old are required to wear safety certified bicycle helmets when they are operators or passengers on bicycles (Sec. 1238(5)). Children aged 1 to 4 must wear certified bicycle helmet and ride in specially designed child safety seats. Children under 1 are prohibited from being transported on a bicycle (Sec. 1238(1)(2)). Any parent or guardian who permits his or her child to violate the helmet law is subject to a fine of up to $50 (Sec. 1238(3),(6)(a)).
