Michael Lohan: “Judge should have sent Lindsay to rehab”
Lindsay maybe relieved to have escaped with just a year more of probation, not jail time, for violating her probation terms, but her father, Michael Lohan, is concerned.
“I’ve just gotten off the phone with the judge and I’m not happy,” Lohan told RadarOnline.com. “She needs to put my daughter in rehab. How could that judge have let her just walk in to court and walk right back out? The least they could have done was give her a drug test at the door.”
Beverly Hills judge, Marsha Revel, extended Lindsay’s probation from 3 to 4 years on Friday, October 16, because Lindsay didn’t attend her alcohol education program as per her probation terms.
“I hate to speak out publicly like this about Lindsay,” he continued, “But it’s for all the parents and the teens out there. I’ve seen what it’s done.”
In his appearance on the Maury show, Michael alluded to prescription drug abuse by Lindsay and graphically expressed what it could lead to. He also expressed concern for his younger daughter Ali, 15, who was being exposed to some of the same elements as Lindsay in clubs.
Surprisingly, Michael had some good words for Samantha Ronson, Lindsay’s former gal pal, whom he had been very critical of earlier.
“Samantha was actually helping,” he said. “I’m wrong. I apologize 100%.”
