Siren, I agree with everything you've said here. I think the Judge was trying to make a difference in the life of PH since her parents are basically worthless. I doubt though, that this will make a difference in this spoiled princess's life... because mommy and daddy need to change and I cannot see that happening.
Only time will tell if this short "intervention" will have any lasting effect on Ms. Hilton. I pray that she takes this opportunity to do more with her life. She has limitless opportunities. I feel sorry for Ms. Hilton. MagicRose99, you are right on is stating that Mommy and Daddy need to change. They have instilled this sense of entitlement in their daughter and unfortunately, the court has become her "parents" and has demonstrated more parental concern and limits than her own parents.
I have a son the same age as Ms. Hilton and due to his employment, has been known to socialize in the same circles as Ms. Hilton. It's difficult to grow up in LA. The money, power, drugs, parties, sex, etc. However, my son is scared to death of ending up in LA Co Jail with a DUI! He takes taxis and has a circle of friends that establishes a DD before partying. (The DD is paid highly for his/her sobriety!)
I feel sorry for Ms. Hilton. She has limitless opportunities in her future. What she does with her life and those opportunities will ultimately determine the merit of her character. This incarceration has served as detox from her partying ways and will establish a routine of three squares a day, one hour of exercise per day, plenty of water, and sleep expected at normal times. (Don't tell me about the noise and distubing environment, it's no different than being in the hospital....constant noise, sleep disrupted by noise and the environment, etc. )
No one debates the denial of house arrest to Ms. Hilton. The closet in her home is bigger than her double occupancy cell at the jail! Due to her own safety and the potential for exploitation, a halfway house or community service would not have been appropriate. That only left the judge with confinement in the La Co jail system.
