I’m not sure how the judge could make this stick. The “child” is an adult. Is every adult in Ohio required to get a GED? How does the judge think a parent can force a child to learn enough to pass a GED if the child is totally out of control? Put the parent in jail? That puts the child in more control at home.
I am all for parents taking more responsibility for their children but this is just ridiculous. The girl is 18. It’s too bad she made some bad decisions, it looks like she was playing around with boys in high school instead of going to class. Now she has a baby, no husband and can’t do basic math. It’s a sad story and maybe her parents could have kept a better eye on her, but somebody who’s 18 has to take responisbility for her own actions, and putting her father in jail will not solve her problems or help any other girls who may be making the same mistakes. She needs to turn her life around. That is now her own job not her dad’s.
