I understand why this is local news but I can’t think of a good reason why this is worth sharing here.

Because it's the most interesting thing that's happened in Stoke-on-Trent in years.

Begs the question, what are the parents to do, is being fined for something outside of their control justice? Or is it considered acceptable for parents to physically restrain their child to force school attendance?
