I agree with jOhn except, perhaps, about the shooting bit.

I wasn't even aware of what she had done to be incarcerated until I read Don's post above. On that basis she deserves exactly what she is getting. As for having 'special needs' there is enough money in that family to have given her the best care possible for those 'special needs', before she broke the law and endangered lives - twice.

I'll reserve my sympathy for all those people with problems that they can't afford to remedy and who don't get the kind of special treatment being meted out to this rather worthless young woman.

It would be nice to think that a few days inside would make her think about the direction her life is going in and maybe to start using her money and fame to make a difference, even in a small way.

I don't think that we are raising a weak generation. There are plenty of stories of 'ordinary' kids doing extraordinary things for others that give hope for the kids coming up today.
