Paris Hilton too sick to serve time in Jail

Are you surprised at this turn of events? Paris is out of jail because of "medical concerns".
Jail officials say, "Not an early release, a reassignment." I wonder how many of the thousands of regular inmates get this type of treatment.

It'll be interesting to find out what her "illness" is. Some are saying that Paris refused to eat the jail food and therefore there was concern for her health. Others say, she was suffering psychologically because she couldn't deal with being in jail.
Whatever the reason, it certainly appears like she got special treatment.

Her family or publicist probably won't let her read anything negative.

THE LATEST...the City Attorney has filed a motion asking that Paris be sent back to her jail cell and that the Sheriff's Department be held in contempt of court for releasing her.
The judge after all, had ordered that Paris not be given alternative custody.

The plot thickens.

What do you guys think is the REAL reason Paris was sent home? Joking or not, "Craftguy", speculates there might have been some kind of secret deal struck w/the Sheriff and Hilton family. Do most people think that?

And, why would the Sheriff place himself in this messy situation?

Dasvics,
That's a really good post you found explaining how Paris was treated in Jail and how most people feel in that department.

I know the situation here is a lot bigger than just Paris herself. It's about our entire justice system. Sending her back to jail sends the right message that no one is above the law.
BUT---and I know I'm gonna get blasted for this.
Watching video of Paris bawling made me feel bad for her. It was just sad and pathetic. Does any one have sympathy for Paris?

Jamie Lee Curtis wrote the following column:


As the denouement of a really upsetting celebrity scandal came to its close, a tearful child pleaded to her mother... "Mom, it's not right."

It was a painful episode to watch. A young woman, begging her mother, the person who should have taught her right from wrong, to help her, to teach her the rules of life. It was a little too late. And so she wept as the Universe was bringing the teaching and settling the score.

I'm in no glass house. I understand only too well the pitfalls of maternal amnesia and denial. I am not throwing stones but merely a lifesaver, a buoy of sanity and understanding.

"My analyst told me, that I was right out of my head," Joni Mitchell sang in the song "Twisted." I was twisted. I am twisted. I am deluded that my attempts at being liked and loved by my children and friends with them -- all at the same time -- were going to result in "well raised children." We were the generation that would take the job of raising our children and turn it into... PARENTING. We were the generation who applauded every move they made. Every step they took. "Good climbing, Brandon" was our hue and cry. We were raised by people who didn't "understand" us and now we don't "understand" why our children are so messed up.

It is a national epidemic. Omnipotent children running amok or sitting amok as they watch TV and play electronic games and shop on eBay.

CONTINUED:
The sad paths of the three most popular young women -- privileged but from varying backgrounds, talented, beautiful and spectacular -- have ended in prison, rehab and mental illness. I hope their mothers are worried sick and wondering, "What could I have done differently?" And our culture should be asking the same question too.

What we need to do is look long and hard at our part in all this. Where did our children get the message that the rules don't apply to them? And where did we, the Mothers, get the message that if we abdicate our responsibilities as Mothers, the Universe will do our job for us? And it does, but without any of the love and tenderness and compassion that we could have given, along with the lessons.

Now it's just the cold hard facts of a jail cell or the emptiness of a rehab room.

I'm not pointing fingers. I'm asking questions.

Can we take the wrenching sight of Paris asking her mother, "why?" and ask it of ourselves?

My analyst told me this: "Children are paparazzi. They take your picture mentally when you don't want them to, when you don't look
good, and show it back to you in their behavior."

Let's hope that we all learn what is RIGHT and what is so WRONG.

Wake up, Mothers and smell the denial.

On any given night or morning, you might catch me doing everything from consumer/investigative reporting, anchoring, entertainment, weather, even sports (not my favorite). On the weekends, I can also be found washing the news trucks. :-) O.K. that's not true, but that's probably my next assignment! If you have any story ideas or would like me to look into a situation you feel may be unjust, please let me know by commenting on my blog!
