She gets a DUI for killing somebody, violates a condition of her bail by getting caught drinking because she had her drunken pictures posted on Facebook, never did any of her weekly check-ins, and we're supposed to feel...
But the judge, noting the previous violation, said, "she has now earned the privilege of wearing the SCRAM bracelet."... sorry for her because the judge forces her to wear an alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet? Um..... nope. Not even a little bit.
SCRAM stands for Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor. The device can detect alcohol via perspiration and will alert authorities. Scoliere will be charged $15 a day to wear the device, which has been in use in Kane County since 2007.
After the hearing, Scoliere, accompanied by her parents, left the courtroom in tears.
Jeebus. The Princess Mom and Darling Daddy would have snatched my head bald after the first time I missed a check-in. And that would be after they yanked me out of school and took me right back home where they could keep me under lock and key.
That kid needs a swift kick in the pants, not comforting. What's wrong with these people?

Some BlogThings for Friday:
You Are Intuitive |
 You are very sharp and shrewd. You can see the best and worst sides of people. Right now, you are seeking a new challenge and a complete life change. You are drawn to people who are passionate and deep. You feel like there is nothing in your life that needs to be changed. You find that any decision you have to make needs to be slept on... often for multiple nights. |
... and...
You Feel Like Spring |
 You have reached a point in your life where new opportunities are coming your way. The future is exciting and bright. You are excited to start making plans. It's likely that you have been stuck in bit of a rut, but that's all about to change. You're ready to explore, learn, challenge yourself, and grow. All of a sudden, the world is much more colorful. |
