Tuan Huynh, 47, of the 1100 block of Walnut Farm Road, was sentenced in Montgomery County Court Tuesday to two years’ probation and 100 hours of community service after he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a child under 18 in connection with the Feb. 22 incident. With the charges, authorities alleged Huynh abandoned the 16-year-old girl at Cheltenham Avenue and Washington Lane, near the Cheltenham Square Mall, after she received a bad grade in a calculus course. “Throw her out instead of getting her a tutor. What kind of choice is that for a parent to make?” said Assistant District Attorney Cara McMenamin, who prosecuted Huynh. “It’s unconscionable and outrageous.” McMenamin described the teenager as a “soft-spoken, extremely serious young girl” who has aspirations of being a classical pianist. The girl feared she would never see her family again, McMenamin said. “She was devastated. She wandered quite a ways looking for help. Fortunately, she encountered a minister who stayed with her and called police,” McMenamin said. Judge Garrett D. Page, who accepted a plea agreement in the case, also ordered Huynh, who was represented by defense lawyer David S. Dessen, to complete parenting classes “prior to moving back into residence,” according to court papers. After his arrest, as a bail condition, Huynh had been prohibited from living in the family’s home. Another charge of recklessly endangering another person was dismissed against Huynh as part of the plea agreement. An investigation began about 3:35 p.m. Feb. 22 when Cheltenham police responded to the intersection of Cheltenham Avenue and Washington Lane after receiving reports that a child was asking strangers for a place to stay, according to the arrest affidavit.

How did I know it was gonna be a Asian.
She got a low math grade, the only acceptable course of action now is ritual suicide. He failed to raise her properly, the only acceptable course of action now is ritual suicide.
It was probably just a C or something and her dad is shitting himself over nothing.

I'm surprised how I guessed it was an asian family. (and don't call this racist when it seems it has begun to be a fact)
[QUOTE=dass;36172388]I'm surprised how I guessed it was an asian family. (and don't call this racist when it seems it has begun to be a fact)[/QUOTE] Umm yes it is racist actually. Don't try to excuse yourself.
I ain't a racist, but...
If I were her parent, that is what I would do.
[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;36172416]Umm yes it is racist actually. Don't try to excuse yourself.[/QUOTE] Don't worry, us asians all look the same. I had trouble telling my father apart from my uncle sometimes.

A? Should have been A++ Daughter? I have no daughter!
[QUOTE=Naaz;36172646]If I were her parent, that is what I would do.[/QUOTE] Fuck yeah shove her out the door instead of supporting and helping her like a parent should. Your kids are gonna looooooove you.
[QUOTE=Naaz;36172661]C [i]is[/i] failing in my book.[/QUOTE] C is average. D is below average (where I'd get worried)

[QUOTE=Lufttygger306;36173606]Racism is hate against another race How was that hate[/QUOTE] yeah and why is it that black people can say the n word but I can't You really don't understand, do you? [quote]Racism is generally understood as either belief that different racial groups are characterized by intrinsic characteristics or abilities and that some such groups are therefore naturally superior to others, [1][2] or as practices that discriminate against members of particular racial groups,[1] for example by perpetuating unequal access to resources between groups.[3][/quote] Even "positive" racism, like believing that Asians are intrinsically good at math, is bad and harmful, not to mention wrong. If an Asian person is good at math, then that belief downplays their skill and effort and attributes it to their skin color. If an Asian person is bad at math, then with that belief, it's as if they're worse at math than they actually are, and that they're getting a boost due to their skin color. Real life isn't a fucking RPG, skin color is skin color. And hair color, and minor differences in flesh distribution like a 1.5% belly button height difference, and a few other minor things like lactose intolerance rates. But not "well a C in math to an Asian is really like an F" or any other stupid racist shit like that.
