Truancy Charges

A West Virginia mother says she plans to keep her daughter out of school, even though she faces misdemeanor charges for doing do. Regina Pine is letting Ariel Depp stay at home because the deaf girl is allegedly the victim of bullying and a sexual assault. She wants to attend South Charleston High, but the Kanawha County School District doesn't have an interpreter at the school. The fine could be as much as $100 for every day that Depp hasn't been in school - and so far, she's missed 35 days. Her mom has the option of home schooling the 16 year old. They are due in court November 9th.
