Ummm....this isn't just a gutless mom writing notes for her lazy-ass kids, she is FORGING a doctor's note. Forgery IS A CRIME.
I've noticed on SH that a lot of people have no concept that when a law is broken there is punishment.
It's a sign of our times, I suppose, but "ignorance of a law is no exception" to the punishment of that law-breaking.

Sometimes moms are the ones who fake being sick.
California mother Kari Shannon Brandt, 38, is out on bail after being arrested last Tuesday for allegedly forging doctor’s notes for her children, the Willows Journal reported.
Prosecutors accuse Brandt of forging signatures and creating doctors’ notes on 12 occasions between December 2009 and April.The notes were written for three of Brandt’s children, ages 6, 7 and 8, in a reported effort to excuse them from West Street Elementary School in Corning, Tehama County District Attorney Gregg Cohen said.
“If (Brandt) would have expended as much effort at getting out of bed and getting her little ones to school as she did concocting and forging doctors’ notes, we would never have needed to get involved,” Cohen said.

Breaking the law is ok when done by a lazy parent why???????
But nooo..
There are some bleeding hearts that don't consider this to be a crime. They think that a "suppossed crime' depends on who, what, where, when, and how a crime was committed. Regardless of what and whom the crime affects
What are parents like this teaching their poor kids?
Absolutely nothing good that's forsure!!!
Nothing to do with laziness.
It was never a doctor's note; rather me exaggerating a minor illness.
BTW,-consider the law which says a child has to go to school at all. Now find the provision in the constitution for that law. It's not as if going to school will make a person either healthier, safer or more prosperous. (Ted Bundy vs Bill Gates)
Now let's tackle illegal immigration and fraud,-lying about one's birth place. (per Obama)
BUT it was wrong for her to do it on repeated occasions
But forging real doctors signatures yes she should have.
How interesting.

i didn't know this was a "bitch out" site!
