You should not mix thread and fork.

Some hint :

You put your "import threading" before your fork(), then data
initialized by the import
are the same in the two process then it display the same, this is like

a=-1216477504
os.fork()
print a

second I thing -1216477504 has no meaning, this is not a system thread
ID but just an ID generated by python
I think they must be unique inside a process but not cross process.
Then 2 process can have the same python thread ID.

If you have to mix thread and fork try to find some hints from
Internet.
Something like don't fork a process that already has tread(),
or try to keep all your threads inside the same process ...
