Man jailed when daughter fails to get diploma

AGDee: Did this rebelliousness just start? I say if she leaves, let her azz stay out there. If you are grown enough to leave, you are grown enough to stay out of MY house.

And why did the court not revisit the case the month the girl turned 18?

Yeah, the rebelliousness just started. It's the typical teen/parent power struggle but the kid is leaving and staying at a friend's until she feels like going home again and then she goes home again. The friend's mother has been making it easy on her too and my friend talked to that mom and said she needed her support on this and that she shouldn't let her daughter stay there anymore and the other mom agreed. It simply puts a parent in a very tough position. Because, then you read things like this where they are holding a parent liable for the acts of the child, but they take away the ability to enforce the rules at the same time. It's a real Catch 22.
