Stacy Schulz: Daddy's little girl
Many teens have issues with their parents. Relationships can be pretty rocky.

Stacy Schulz responded to her frustration and dissatisfaction with her father in an unusual manner.

She allegedly faked a robbery to scare her parents.

Warning: Don't try this at home.

GREENFIELD -- Police say a 17-year-old girl requested that a friend break into her own home. She told police she did it because she hated her father.

Stacy Schultz [sic] reportedly admitted to police that she asked a 16-year-old boy and his 14-year-old brother to break into the house and steal from her parents while they slept.

On Thursday around 4 a.m., the 16-year-old carried out the home invasion. After the daughter let him in, according to a police report, he went to the parents' bedroom, waved a gun while holding his a t-shirt up over his nose and mouth and demanded money and guns.

The mother, Brenda Schultz, directed him to a jewelry box, from which he stole about 50 pieces of jewelry.

Detectives searched through phone records and found a call pattern between the known suspect and Stacy Schultz. After going to the suspect's house, they found stolen items from the burglarized home.

Stacy Schultz was charged with party to armed robbery Monday.

...The two Milwaukee brothers with whom Stacy Schultz allegedly conspired were placed in a juvenile detention facility.

Stacy Schulz and her accomplices aren't too bright.

How could she think that she could pull off this stunt without getting caught? Why would the brothers agree to participate?

She must be quite good at manipulating people. The fact that she could convince the brothers to take part in her lamebrained plan is an indication of that.

It sounds like Stacy Schulz would have had a bright future in sales had she used her talents wisely. Instead, she's in jail.

This apparently was quite literally a rude awakening for Stacy's parents, Joseph and Brenda Schulz of Greenfield.

On Monday, Mr. Schulz said, "I've been traumatized, and I don't want to think it was my own flesh and blood that did it."

The best thing that Mr. and Mrs. Schulz could do for their daughter is to let the legal system mete out a punishment and not protect her from the consequences of her crime.

It would also be the best thing for society.
