WHERE'S THE JUSTICE IN COURTS SYSTEM?

I am a concerned parent trying to figure out the justice system. Case
in point: In the court news of the June 25 edition of The Advocate,
my son was sentenced to 10 months in prison for non-payment of child support.

And there were two other sentences for selling crack cocaine. The
people selling crack cocaine received five years probation for
selling illegal drugs.

These are felons. And my son goes to prison for non-payment of child
support? These people probably will be back on the streets selling
drugs as soon as court is over. But my son is getting further behind
in his support payments because of the imprisonment.

Now he's a felon. And in Licking County, he won't be able to get a
job once he is released because he is labeled a felon.

Where's the justice in that?
