I first saw this story at fox.news.com. It was taken from a story “Dad sues over car damaged in chase” from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 04/06/07 by Beth Warren.

And I quote:

“The menacing motorist turned out to be 19-year-old private school graduate Jennifer Natbony, who was on drugs and hunkered down inside her mom’s luxury car. The teen, lying near what was a pellet gun or air rifle, was arrested on 16 charges on Dec. 1, 2003. After pleading guilty to DUI and evading police, she received probation and community service.”

The girl was on drugs and plead guilty – okay good for her she admitted her wrong doing but her father, well read on:

“Now her father, Michael Natbony of Marietta, wants his insurance company to foot the bill for the $12,612 in damage to the Lexus“

Excuse me?!? I think it’s time for daughter dearest to get a J-O-B! Oh, it gets better. “Natbony, who had a history of drug possession, speeding tickets and wrecks” was afraid daddy dearest would sell her call. Can you believe this crap?

‘”All that I remember was that I didn’t stop,” she said in the sworn statement. “I knew if I got another speeding ticket, my dad was going to sell my car.”‘

Hmmm, so she takes mommy’s car instead….can we say spoiled rotten?

And thanks to Purdue University and the OWL at Purdue for reminding me how to quote a quote.

After reading an article about a father who is suing his insurance company to get the damages his daughter caused to his car while HIGH on DRUGS, I couldn’t sit still any more. I am so tired of people not taking responsibly for there actions. Even worse, this parent has taught his daughter that she doesn’t have to be held accountable, that it wasn’t her fault.

And what do I have to say to that – bullshit! We are teaching are children that nothing they do wrong is their fault.
