Oh god.
When I was in high school I cost my mother some money for fines due to truancy.
That's all I can think of.

Truancy is ridiculous. My friend was severely depressed and two of his friends had shot and killed themselves, plus his father was an abusive alcoholic. He barely went to school when things were super bad and he had to go to court and pay a fine, all while his family was -blam!-ing broke. It's absolutely -blam!-ing retarded that truancy is a thing.

One horrible case does not out weigh everything else. But that is awful. :(
