In Columbus,Ohio a mother was sentenced 180 days in jail for a minor paperwork mistake for homeschooling her kid. She, who was homeshooled herself, knew nothing about it and decided to call the school for more information.She was told there was no deadline,and turned it in late.To the state it looked like the kid was not attending public school, so the mother was convicted of truancy.
In my opinion, it's ridiculous that one small mistake on a piece of paper that she knew nothing about will make her spend 180 days in jail.

It's a simple mistake but it just goes to show that there are consequences for everything you do.
