Man jailed when daughter fails to get diploma



A man ordered by a judge to make sure his daughter hit the books has found himself in jail because she failed to earn a high school equivalency diploma.

Brian Gegner, of Fairfield, was sentenced last week to 180 days in jail for contributing to the unruliness or delinquency of a minor.

He was ordered months ago to make sure his 18-year-old daughter Brittany Gegner, who has a history of truancy, received her GED — something that hasn’t happened yet.

“Brittany is almost 19 years old now and I think it’s unfair to put her father in jail,” said Shana Roach. “She’s an adult now, and it’s not right to rip an innocent man from his home.”

Heather: Just read through all the postings and pictures. Kind a lazy on my end in keeping up. Will work on staying more involved. Glad to see that you and Zoey enjoyed your visit to Michigan as much as we did. Very photogenic young lady we have there.And her smile is obviously very contagious. Good job on the blog. Please keep it up. And please ask Paul to throw in his tidbits when warranted as well - we want to be sure that we are getting Daddy's slant on things as well. Will stay tuned.

Love, edjb
