She can get all the help and support she needs from a correctional institute. Paid back by herself, not tax payers. Next time , she can go to prison.

Robin P., may I suggest YOU get your facts straight. Air breathed from a Scuba tank (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) IS compressed. I know, I dive. It is delivered to the tank through a (I hope I remember this right) 2 or 3 stage air compressor (dry, as to deliver no oil or moisture along with the air). The air is then delivered to the diver through a 2 stage regulator. The tanks hold so much pressure that they have been known to level a garage when the tank developed a catastrophic failure (it burst) (again, I know, I've seen the pics). Robin, as I stated in my first message, it was not the compressed air(as reported) that caused the problem, something else was involved as a few of the nicer contributers have noted. Now really, shouldnt you have been a bit nicer and do a little more research before making yourself look, well, you finish the sentence.

This is one incredibly stupid young woman who put herself and others in danger. BTW, stupidity is not only found in West Duluth and I resent that inference as should all the responsible citizens living west of Lake Avenue.

I am in no way saying that her decision to get high while driving was a good one. People make mistakes and don't think while under the influence of drugs or alcohol...right? or wait....maybe they do....I must be stupid though to say something like "be more considerate"....right? What if this was your daughter or someone your care for? would you take a look into the problem a little further? I think so.... Ofcouse this was wrong and she should be punished for what she has done, or could've done. Relax people....Don't we all make mistakes? I hope she learns from this one, just like you perfect people must have learned from all of yours!

Beau G. . . are you serious? You ask us have some consideration? She was huffing while driving and proceeded to pass out behind the wheel. If she had one ounce of consideration in her - she wouldn't have driven a car while getting high. . . putting innocent lives in danger. It was a selfish choice! Whether she has issues or not, that does not give her the right to potentially harm the lives of innocent people by getting behind the wheel of a car while getting high!!

Beau G.: are you kidding, ..."a great girl', she could have killed someone. She was driving a car. If she were have made the choice to do this in her own home and die that would have been different but she made the choice to go out and drive making her no better/different then a drunk driver or some one with a loaded gun... She may very well have issues and need some help but she didn't have to hit another car and a bus. that is someone's sorce of income... Your crack about them needing new siding is not in any way funny. She is a danger and I hope she is treated just like any one else that would have been driving drunk or while using any drug... she got lucky this time and no one else was killed... That poor 16 yr old that she hit will always have some fear now do to her actions...
