Daughter doesn't get GED, Dad gets jail time
First of all, this girl is eighteen (an adult) and I didn't realize it was illegal to not graduate from high school. Why should her dad be punished for his daughter's mistakes? Even the girl takes responsibility: "It was my wrongdoing, not his... he shouldn't have to go to jail for something I did."
What is the judicial branch coming to?
Organized schooling isn't for everyone!
Article:
CINCINNATI - 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.
He was ordered months ago to make sure his 18-year-old daughter Brittany Gegner, who has a history of truancy, received the diploma known as GED — something that hasn't happened yet.
Brittany Gegner, who said Monday that she plans to take a required GED test this month, said her father shouldn't be blamed for her failure because she has been living with her mother.
"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."
Juvenile Court administrator Rob Clevenger Jr. said Monday that the court still has jurisdiction in the case because Brittany Gegner was a juvenile when the truancy problems began and when the charge against Brian Gegner was filed in 2007.
A hearing on a motion filed by Brian Gegner's attorney to reconsider the sentence is scheduled for Friday. Messages seeking comment were not returned Monday at the offices of defense attorney Tamara Sack and the prosecutor.
Brian Gegner's wife, Stephanie Gegner, said she and her husband are afraid he will lose his job if he remains in jail. She said they tried to keep his daughter in school.
"You'd take her to school and she'd go out the other door," Stephanie Gegner said. First of all, this girl is eighteen (an adult) and I didn't realize it was illegal to not graduate from high school. Why should her da... more -

Someone stop the madness
Michael Jackson's Billie Jean is definitely a song that is recognizable by many people from many backgrounds but the slew of remakes have gotten kinda crazy. David Cook's performance of the song on American Idol was good but not that dissimilar from Chris Cornell's version. But this version is like taking the song..mixing with bleach, a kalediscope and some of your favorite addiction.
Don't miss the dude 'breaking it down' towards the end. Michael Jackson's Billie Jean is definitely a song that is recognizable by many people from many backgrounds but the slew of remakes h... more -

Court charges laid bare...
Maintaining a clean cut, and clothed appearance in court is something of a standard within todays' society, first impressions and all that! So when a 60 year old man, held on "flashing" charges returned from an adjournment in nothing but his "birthday suit" he wasn't really helping his case. Originally apprehended for striking "bodybuilding poses" at an all-girl soccer game, the man was subsequently charged with indecent exposure and given a return court date. All this because he saw his naked body as a piece of art! Now I'm all for embracing modern art, but think this is taking it a bit far...heard of anyone else using the modern art in unusual circumstances...Get it posted...I'd love to see how far people have taken it!
