"listen to the jail house rock"

Our justice system is incredible!
Renee spent two days in jail, and after talking with the arresting officer, he decided that she's just a "good kid" who has a problem and made some bad decisions. He's arranged it so she doesn't have to do anymore jail time until her hearing, and then he'll recommend the same thing. He told her to, and I quote, "get a job" and do well. Don't get me wrong, she is/was a good kid, but she has a serious problem that needs to be addressed and a job won't cut it. She's tried that route before.
Now her and knucklehead have rented an apartment and are going to be moving in next week. In the meantime, they are going to be staying with a friend of his, as soon as Children and Youth check it out and give the okay.
You know, as mean as it may make me sound, I wanted her to sit in jail a while. Get good and clean. Maybe get some court ordered rehab. I don't know. This way I just get to worry constantly, get my hopes up when she does well for a month and then wait for the other shoe to fall. Again.

She's cute, and cute people get to coast. But the problem is that nobody stays cute forever.

Except Johnny Depp.

they're cheap and don't want to pay for rehab until she kills someone or steals $10,000 from someone unrelated. you need to cut her off for good.

I'm curious about something Schell. How is it your daughter and this knucklehead have the resources to rent an apartment ? If I remember right you need a months rent and a few months security and also in todays world decent credit.

At any rate , lets hope for the best for the 3 of them. Maybe things will work out .
