I saw that happen live.  It was on Family Guy a few years ago.  That's one of Peter's ex-girlfirends.  He went on to date Jennifer Love-Hewitt, so it worked out.

"I want (people) to know that her and Heather both are not bandits," Joy Miller told ABC's "Good Morning America" Monday." "They're little girls that made a bad choice."

19 year old bank robbers = "Little girls"

If you're old enough to perform anal on camera for money, you're old enough to rob banks and go to jail for it.

This is from the father of the other girl:

"God gives us free will and it's up to us what we do with it," he said. "Any adult has to make decisions and live with them -- good, bad or indifferent."

Aside from the fact that he mentions God, I gotta respect dude's point of view.  Look like he's going to let his daughter suffer the consequences of her actions.  Good.

God gave him free will to be an effective parent.  I suppose God farged up there as well.

[Father Demon]

I don't get that comment, Rome..   Just because a 19 year old did something stupid doesn't automatically make her parents bad.  In fact, the fact that this guy is basically saying "She farged up, and now has to live with the consequences" sounds like the opposite of a bad parent.  He's not trying to cover up her mistakes or blame society.  He put the blame right where it belongs -- on her shoulders.

This is one helluva way to get back at someone
