Couple face $3,200 in fines and three-month prison term for taking daughter out of school for their honeymoon
Janine and Shane Scott took their daughter along for their five-day, £3,000 trip to the Big Apple after taking her out of school and now face hefty fines and jail-time.
A newlywed couple faces the prospect of going to prison after they decided to take their seven-year-old daughter on their honeymoon to New York City while she was supposed to be in school and then subsequently refused to pay the £60 ($77) fine.
According to the Mirror, Janine and Shane Scott took daughter Elissa on their dream holiday to New York in the belief that Kerry Coe, the headteacher at the St. John's Church of England Primary School where she attends, would grant the time off on grounds of exceptional circumstances.
