Let's say you're the mother of this "little angel"

Nichols, 17, and four other teen girls were arrested in April, accused of attacking 16-year-old Lindsay and recording the beating on video. Investigators have said that the attack on Lindsay was in retaliation for online trash-talking with some of the girls and that the footage was going to be posted on MySpace and YouTube.

Each of the girls is charged with kidnapping and misdemeanor battery. Nichols, Brittany Mayes and Brittni Hardcastle, both 17, are also charged with witness tampering.

...

Judd has described the March 30 beating in published news stories as "animalistic" and said that after the teens were arrested, they were laughing together in a holding cell, saying "Am I going to miss cheerleading practice?" and "I guess we're not going to the beach this week."

Now, your daughter has gotten together with a bunch of friends, kidnapped and beaten another girl and put the video up online, laughed and giggled during their arrest, and then you find out the Sheriff didn't have anything nice to say about your skills as a parent.

What do you do?

a) Feel ashamed at your lack of parenting skills
b) Direct your anger to your daughter who is the true cause of your pain
or
c) SUE!!!!!!

You get three guesses and the first two don't count.

The four-page legal notice sent to the Polk County Sheriff's Office by Lakeland attorney Michele Bernard says Judd has "uttered untrue facts about the nature of my client and her status as a parent towards her minor child, Mercades Nichols, with reckless disregard for the truth."

Bernard will sue over the "severe emotional damages" Garcia suffered when those comments were publicized in newspapers, the Internet, national talk shows and local news stations, according to the legal notice.

"Sever emotional damages"? You should sue your own daughter for that.
