Daughter fails math test, so dad thrown in jail

A northern Kentucky man is in jail today – serving a 180-day sentence – because his 18-year-old daughter failed a math test and didn't get her General Equivalency Diploma, or GED, as a previous court order required.

Brittany Gegner, the daughter, says if anyone should be jailed, it should be her.

"It's like I should, if anybody should be punished for this," Brittany told WCPO-TV in Cincinnati. "I would way rather me go to jail than my dad."

Even Brian Gegner's ex-wife agrees the judge's decision is absurd.

"I'm about to be 19 and my dad's being punished for something I did when I was 16," she said.
