Thumbs down Ohio Man gets 6 Months Because Daughter Didn't Get GED

Dad jailed after daughter fails to get diploma - Crime & courts - MSNBC.com



Quote:
A man ordered by a judge to make sure his daughter studied has found himself in jail because she failed to earn a high school equivalency diploma.

Brian Gegner, who lives near Cincinnati, was sentenced last week to 180 days in jail for contributing to the unruliness or delinquency of a minor.

"It was my wrongdoing, not his," said Brittany Gegner, whose fiance and 18-month-old daughter also live at her mother's home. "He shouldn't have to go to jail for something I did."

Her mother agrees.

"Brittany is almost 19 years old now and I think it's unfair to put her father in jail," said Shana Roach. "She's an adult now, and it's not right to rip an innocent man from his home."

What the fuck, that's ridiculous.

Wow. I read the thread title and was ready to come in here and go on a rant about parental responsibility and accountability while their children are still...well, children. Then I read "19 year old". What the fuck? I'm pretty sure they need to lawyer up and fight this. I'm no lawman but I'm 90% sure you cannot hold a parent responsible for his child's not getting a diploma at the age of 19. Also, apparently the parenting wasn't too great anyway, nice job kid, how old are you and you already have a child? Awesome. What's the world coming to guys?

Yeah I heard about this, what a crock of shit. Let's just imprison the parents of every kid who didn't graduate high school.

That's why I hate people. People are the ones who cause these problems. If we could just rid the world of people, we could all live happier & healthier lives.
Can you dig what I be saying? Fuckin people are the root of all things unpleasant.

We need more weedheads...not people. bongsmilie

lol No I don't dig what your saying at all. I don't like people that whole lives revolve around weed. Im all for smoking but don't see it as a lifestyle.

I dig it.
I think he means that if we had more 'weedheads', people would just be chill, you know? Not all uptight and shit and jail others for any reason they can find.

/\/\/\/\ You're a smart man, pacman.

I don't think Carl has too good of a sense-of-humor.
