High-schooler and her mother hacked school records to steal homecoming queen election, police say

2. Hmmmm, I think she should've kept her mouth shut.

WTF is the matter with parents like these? Don't they know that they're not doing their little darlings any favors by trying to cheat? Instead of a rhinestone crown, she's gonna get a mugshot and a police record. Awesome.

Is it just me or do these things seem to happen in Florida and Texas more often than in other states?

Edited to add:

Wow, I just clicked on the article from Pensacola and they're not playing around with the charges:
