School is out already, but the parents' trouble is just beginning.
Orange county deputies arrested the mothers Tuesday because the mom's missed a date before a judge in truancy court. Hilda Melendez and Patricia Kennedy were arrested after failing to appear in truancy court because their kids missed too much school. A neighbor who lives across the street said that he saw children outside during the school day, but the kids looked too young to go to school. Orange County sheriff's commander Bernie Presha said that at least two kids involved are school-age and ultimately the arrests are for the children. Copyright 2001 by NewsChannel2000 .
