Amber Portwood, the 20-year-old mother of a 2-year-old daughter Leah, both profiled on MTV's Teen Mom series, was released yesterday from Madison County Jail in Anderson, Indiana after being arrested on criminal charges filed against her for physically abusing the father of her child.
Portwood served a 24-hour hold for allegedly slapping and choking her ex-fiance Gary Shirley. She was charged with two counts of domestic battery, three felonies, one count of neglect of a dependent and one misdemeanor charge of domestic battery. The court automatically entered a not guilty plea for Portwood before she was released.
Is this the stuff we should be watching on TV? Does seeing women act like this on TV influence girls of the same age to do the same?
