Kelley Williams-Bolar was sentenced by Judge Patricia Cosgrove on Tuesday and will begin serving her sentence immediately. She was convicted for two counts of tampering with court records because she lied and said her two daughters lived with their father and they actual lived with her. The mother and daughters lived in a housing project in Akron, Ohio and the father address was in Copely Township.
To make matters worse the Williams-Bolar was studying to be a elementary school teacher and under Ohio state law she will not be permitted to teach because she is a felon.
Also worth mentioning is in Ohio if your children go to a school that is not in their district you have to pay $800 a month to attend that school. Williams-Bolar did not pay that cost and Prosecutors said the lies cost the district about $30,000.
What are your thoughts on this case?
