Wait - WHUT???

Ya know, sometimes I just gotta shake my head. I certainly did while reading this.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Authorities in southwest Florida say a 17-year-old girl pointed a gun at her mother, pistol-whipped her and forced her to drive to a dealership to buy her a used car.

The sheriff's office in Lee County said Monday that the teen has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, among other counts, and was being held at a juvenile detention center. The Associated Press doesn't identify minors charged with juvenile crimes.

According to officials, the mother said she didn't want to press charges because her daughter had been accepted to several Ivy League schools.

Huh???? Okay, so the kid pistol whips mom, holds her hostage at gunpoint and forced her to buy a car, but because she's allegedly been accepted to several Ivy League schools, that's acceptable behavior??? I wonder what she's going to do to her professor if she gets a bad grade!

Sheesh!! It's no wonder I like animals better than most humans!
