My Dad Left Me in Jail

One Mom reacts to Paris Hilton refusing to bail her brother out.
We wrote Should You Bail Out Your Kid? wondering if other Moms felt as strongly as we did about Paris' decision. Genevieve had this to say: "As a teen, my dad chose to leave me there for a few days. My partner in crime, her parents picked her up right away. It was a pivotal point in my life. I remained rebellious but cut out the 'breaking the law' crap. My friend did not. She's 35 now and in a real bad way. It's an extreme comparison--but just thought I'd throw it out there. My kids, depends on the age and crime. Also depends on their safety in jail."
