I'm aware DFS was involved in this instances however Ron said he was going to jail if HaLeigh missed anymore school and his comment concerns me if it's true. I don't believe the school was threatening to send Ron to jail over HaLeigh's attendance at school. Has anyone heard of a parent being sent to jail because their children missed too much school? Even if this law is in effect, I think the school would offer workable solutions and Ron misunderstood them.
I suppose Crystal didn't ask Ron to explain what he meant when she told him she wanted to take HaLeigh out of school early. If he felt this way days before HaLeigh went missing, I am afraid Ron might have made his daughter disappear to get them off his back especially if he was dealing drugs.
Hi Bluesky#1
The link to the article i am posting is in Orange County Florida. I can't seem to find any law links to back me up, but in Broward County (which is one county North of Miami-Dade) they are doing this as well.

There are also laws that when a teenager drops out of school, before of legal age, The FL DMV can either revoke the D/L of the teen or IF the teen drops out prior to getting a D/L the DMV can choose not to issue a license at all until the teens have turned of legal age.... personally, i think it is great.
