Dad Jailed For Daughter's Test Failure

USA Today reports that an Ohio father, Brian Gegner, was sentenced to six months in jail after his daughter failed to get her GED. Two years ago, he was ordered by a judge to make sure his chronically truant daughter, Brittany, passed the exam. She still hasn't, so he's stuck in jail on grounds of contributing to the unruliness or delinquency of a minor.

You can watch a video of the teenager explaining why she should be punished, not her father, here on CBS.
