This is a tricky on ewithout a doubt, but I have to ask: would a rapist be expected to pay for the amount of police dollars spent on tracking him down?

Because if not, then why should this, obviously disturbed woman be expected to pay more than a token amount to the police for a far less serious crime? I believe that the punishment should fit the crime, and by that I mean it should be a punishment that would prevent the person re-offending, and give some recompense to the victim.

I personally feel that the sentence they've given her will do far more to rehabilitate her, than 5 nights in prison, which I suggest would be more of a punishment to the girl's family, who've already been through enough.

Prison isn't the answer to every crime, and an obvious cry for attention deserves a little more understanding, care and acknowledgement than that which prison would give her - in my opinion, of course.
