Daughter fails math test, so dad thrown in jail
Pop gets 6-month sentence for contributing to delinquency
A northern Kentucky man is in jail today – serving a 180-day sentence – because his 18-year-old daughter failed a math test and didn’t get her General Equivalency Diploma, or GED, as a previous court order required.

“I’m about to be 19 and my dad’s being punished for something I did when I was 16,” she said….(Full Story
