Parents who miss conferences may be locked up? What do you think?

What accountability do the politicians in Detroit have toward the youth? Kym Worthy who took Kwame Kilpatrick's Mayor job thinks locking up the parents is what it'll take to make parents go along with the way politicians think parents should act??? hmmmmmmmm, how can parents do what's right by their children when their examples are BIG CROOKs?

Ms. Worthy was on the news this AM and I was taken aback by her stance. I was even more astounded when I talked to two young adults this morning that agreed with her, OMG!!! (I have yet to show them Kwame Kilpatrick's scandal.)

Detroit Parents Who Miss Teacher Conferences Looking at Jail?
Posted by Edecio Martinez
(CBS)
DETROIT (CBS/AP) The next time you ignore a call from your kid's teacher who is trying to schedule some time to "talk"... consider this.

A Detroit-area prosecutor wants lawmakers to pass an ordinance that could jail parents for up to three days for repeatedly missing scheduled parent-teacher conferences.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says such an ordinance is aimed at making parents responsible for their children's education, which may keep more young people out of trouble.

She's still working on the details of her plan, but says it could go before county commissioners next month.

Worthy also is considering whether to approach state lawmakers with the idea as well.

Civil libertarians say her plan may be outside the law. Challenges are expected.

Republican Kentucky state Rep. Adam Koenig submitted a similar bill last year that gained little acceptance and failed to make it out of committee.

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK: Should parents face jail for missing meetings with teachers?

Christine Rowland Beatty (born May 1970) served as the Chief of Staff from 2002 to 2008 to Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

In January 2008, Beatty resigned amid an emerging political-sex scandal and criminal charges of perjury related to a whistleblower trial for lying under oath about their extramarital affair and that they sought to mislead jurors when they testified that they did not fire Deputy Police Chief Gary Brown. Kilpatrick has already pleaded guilty September 4, 2008, to two felony obstruction of justice charges, and was sentenced to four months in jail on October 28, 2008. She was offered several plea bargains from Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy--one for as little as 150 days of prison time—but she has refused.[1] Beatty was a respondent in a $25,000 settled slander lawsuit initiated by two other police officers.

On December 1, 2008, Beatty agreed to plead guilty to two felony counts, serve 120 days in jail, pay $100,000 in restitution, and be on probation for five years. She was sentenced and began her jail term on January 6, 2009.
