Seriously, is this for real? Schools have gone insane.
See now, if this was in scotland...
- The student wouldn't have got jailed
- they wouldn't have been working when they skived off
- They would've been away drinking buckie and terrorising the neibours.
There are two sides to this issue:
On the school/judge's side:
- Is the school incompetent enough not to be able to handle her truancy?
- Why is the court even involved?
- To be fair, one day in jail doesn't sound that horrible.
On the student's side:
- She shouldn't take all those hard classes and work TWO jobs!
- A busy life is no excuse for missing school.
- I kinda feel sorry for her life's situation though.
lol why I first heard "Montgomery County" I totally thought they were talking about my Montgomery County (in Maryland). Then I realized they were talking about some place in Texas.

Most high-schoolers here wouldn't dare do that since they would be caught drinking underage as soon as the neighbors complain to the police.
i actually found it kind of funny tbh since it's bizarre but i do feel sorry for her
Poor girl... I think it's BS, even if it was only just a day in jail. She's obviously going through a rough time trying to juggle school, family and work all at once. So much is expected from kids these days. Imo, we don't need to learn all that stuff they teach us in school anyways but she just wants to be a good student. Compared to a lot of other students, that says a lot. Clearly, it hasn't effected her grades so I don't really see the big deal. I don't think the crime fit the punishment in this case. =\
The problem here is that her parents divorced and moved away, leaving the student to fend for herself. The solution she needs that she needs help and her parents need to get their act together and support her until she can get through this.

I'm shure there is more to the story, don't feal like researching it any time soon. People always exagerate.
Explorer Oak ~ Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's seed, that held its ground. Never give up!
And they let sex offenders run free, right?
She works hard because she wants to. It's her choice that she wants to do things for herself but it does not give a good reason for her to be put in jail because of that.
C'mon now ! This is insane, thought lunch detention was enough ._.
Another very clear reason why the Judicial system is a Complete Failure.
I didn't know before reading this story that missing school was a jailable offense. There's something about this "one size fits all" policy that doesn't seem exactly fair; not everyone who misses school is a slacker who deserves to be put in jail like a criminal. I don't even get how missing school is a a jailable offense? who does it hurt, other than the person who (might) choose to miss classes of their own accord?
It's not like this girl was purposely missing classes, anyway. It seems as though she had no choice but to miss classes due to her demanding work/school schedule, and it seems pretty unfair that her parents get to book and just leave their kids high and dry with this. And are her "parents" being charged with abandoning their kids?
My guess is no.
AMERICUH!
where honor students get thrown in jail, and rapists/actual criminals get probation!

Not really going to read into this too much because it will end up just peeing me off, but all I have to say is that this "ain't da AMERCUH" that I loved for a long time.

That is seriously wrong in my opinion. Only in America.....
Man that is whack!

Not only is that insane, but just downright unhelpful and no doubt, a waste of taxpayers' money. I don't know how much it cost "them" to lock her up (albeit for 24 hours), but surely it would have been more productive if they spent the equivalent on improving her unfortunate circumstances instead.
Makes me wonder who's really policing the world at times...
At least she's not lying or manipulating people. Geez. Give her a break!
I hope Oprah will help this young lady!
o___O just read the title...
That is ridiculous.
