I'm glad the Kern Sheriff is adding to Laredo. Looks like we will have a steady flow of inmates for years to come

1.3 Trillion dollars of federal money on welfare in 2011 and est double this if not more will be spent in 2012!

Maybe they should have a new law, if the kids skip school then no welfare money for the family! Since as the new today stated that welfare is the number cost to the national budget in this country and California is the highest welfare state in the country with ***32%*** of the welfare cases of the country, now we know why California is broke!

GOOD JOB>>>GET DAYTIME BURGLARS BACK IN SCHOOL. If students do not graduate then they go to welfare office to claim " TOO STUPID TO WORK " claim.

They once said Hitler was a control freak, just take a long hard look around people, Hitler wasn't even out the gate compared to what is really happen around us now days!

It's irronic parents of truant students could be fined $420. Yet the same parents have no right to know if their daughter is receiving birth control or the morning after pill provided by many schools.

Hey if these brain dead kids do not wish to be there then it's a waste of time and money, they will just end up on the system like most of their parents anyway, it's the only life they know and want! Why should our children and teachers deal with them in their class all day?

Why doesn't anyone teachers, counselors, parents anybody find out why they are really not in school? Is it because of shoes, clean clothes, sleep, abuse, maybe being bulied? As kids we loved to go to school, play and see our friends. I have friends that just nw told me 20 years later that they was no money for detergeant to wash her clohes if she didnt go to school it was becasue her clothes were still wet from beig washed wth bar soap. One of my school mates only had one pair of pants so only ent to school three days a week. He is no serving life in prison. So many of us are so fortuneate and just want to assume these are just bad kids and bad parents.

BUTT OUT ASS HOLES!

The LAST people we need to have involved in our educational system are those in the Kern County District Attorney's Office. Unless you are a police officer, or other friend of their office, you WILL be arrested. It's amazing how these people think that arresting juveniles, subjecting them to the one-sided process of the juvenile "justice" system and jailing their parents is a "good" thing. "Law and order" is NOT the answer to EVERY problem this area faces. Most of the time it only makes things worse because common sense goes out the window once law enforcement and especially the D.A.'s office gets involved. So what happens when parents are jailed over this type of ridiculous stuff? Who's going to watch the other kids at home? Who's going to pay the rent, put food on the table and handle all the other things that come with trying to raise a family on a tight budget? The District Attorney's Office? LOL. Stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Why don't we just put everybody in jail, take all the kids and put them in foster care and let the police and D.A.'s office tell everybody what's right for them? That should make our schools better. Not.
