Man Jailed After Daughter Fails To Get GED, page 2

The fact that she didn't go to school or didn't want to is not the issue here. The issue here is the judge has no right do to what he did. No law was broken. Plain and simple.

Judges nowadays seem to get off on their ego trips thinking they are the law instead of actually following the law itself.

What?

A Fairfield man is in jail because his daughter hasn't gotten her General Equivalency Diploma (GED).

A judge ordered the father to stay on top of his daughter's education months ago and when that order wasn't followed, Brian Gegner was sentenced to 180-days in the Butler County jail.

... pretty much says all that need be.

Her being an "adult" Now makes no matter for her being a "youth" Then.

No fault on the judge in my opinion, as she was Not an "adult" at the time the order was put in place. Non-Issue, if you will.

 

So then the judge can punish the man? Ok, let's say his daughter is just too stupid to pass a GED(which you can drool on and pass by the way) he is punished because she is a moron? doen't make any sense

I am all for throwing bad parents into jail. Give them a wake up call. I am sure that greater society pays hundreds of millions of dollars for welfare, police, social workers, parole officers, prison guards and others to take care of the bad seeds produced by these idiots. Somebody should have given this guy a wake up call ten years ago. I feel no sorry or sympathy when parents do a bad job. If you cannot parent your offspring, then do not have any. Why should my tax dollars go to pay for your mistakes?

I am fifty four years old and I have fathered no children because I know how to keep my dick in my pants. I know it can be done.

Don't be a jerkoff all your life. If you're going to preach abstinence, I suggest you see how well that has worked out for the Catholic priests. If you don't crap when you have to, it pollutes the body and you can die. If you don't screw, it pollutes the mind to the point of extreme deviant outbursts of sexuality. Sex is a normal and necessary organic function that is built in to our bodies. There is no changing that fact.

And throwing someone in jail saves tax dollars how?

You must have missed something in the article, as it was the girl's mother that had custody of the daughter when she messed up in school and became pregnant.

When the judge placed the order to the father (according to the article, months ago) she was already an adult at age 18, as well as the fact that she was an emancipated minor being that she already had her own child. A man can not be held accountable for the actions of his adult child and the way in which he was held accountable was outrageous.

I don't see you saying that the mother should be held accountable, being that it was her that is ultimately responsible. She's the one that had custody for the daughter at least up to the age of 16, so who's holding her accountable for her daughters actions?

You also don't know what the father's situation was. Where i'm at they make it almost impossible for a man to be a father if he's not with the mother. Maybe he wasn't a bad father, maybe he wasn't allowed to be a good one.

Since you seem to be worried that the girl will end up on welfare, just how is it that you think the judge is going to help prevent this with his ruling? He locked the man up for six months, now he will probably lose a job that he's had for 15 years, so the girl probably will have to go on welfare now since her father is not able to support her for at least the next six months. And if he comes out in six months and no longer has a job, he may have to go on welfare, then you have not just the girl on welfare but a whole family. So you tell me how this judge has prevented, or helped anything? He has probably in all likelyhood made matters worse.
