The only downside may be that this young woman will now have a tough time (as another poster mentioned above). Hope she gets over this and has good support.
Say that sounds like something the Junior Senator from NY could beecome involved in. She could give her "book" money to that charity. she could also donate that house in Chappaqua as an half way house. To show her good intentions she could set up home in that Coney Island Housing project and show what she's really made of.
Gosh I must be dreamin'!
