Shlaine and Caine Haine’s parents’ pain

From today’s Guardian: the parents of a 14-year-old girl have been jailed because of her truancy.

Newport magistrates in south Wales heard that Christopher and Deborah Haine had shown a “complete disregard” as to whether their 14-year-old daughter Shlaine went to school.

…The couple, both 41, from Newport, were first prosecuted in 2002 for failing to ensure Shlaine and their son Caine attended school.

Looks like the parents showed “complete disregard” for their kids’ names too, doesn’t it?
