Sometimes celebrities and their kids seem to get a pass from the justice system.
Other times they definitely do not.
These are the celebs who have children in jail right now.
Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal
Redmond O'Neal, son of Hollywood legends Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal, has been in and out
of jail for many years now.
His troubles with the law started back in 2008 after he was arrested for possession
of heroin.
He was then court-ordered into treatment centers in 2011 and 2014 after he allegedly relapsed.
He then violated the terms of his probation in 2015, which got him a new three-year sentence.
In May 2018, shortly after Redmond's release, he allegedly robbed a convenience store in
Santa Monica, California, while armed with a knife.
Soon even more violent crimes were pinned on him, as he was charged with attempted murder
after seriously injuring five men.
He reportedly now faces 22 years in prison.
Billy Bob Thornton
In 2008, chilling news broke that Amanda Brumfield, daughter of actor Billy Bob Thornton, had
been accused of being responsible for the death of a child in her care.
The toddler was being looked after by Brumfield when she suffered a fracture on her skull
and bleeding and swelling to her brain.
Brumfield was close friends with the child's mother.
She claimed that the toddler accidentally fell out of her playpen, but prosecutors suggested
that the injuries couldn't have resulted from a fall from that height.
In the end, while Brumfield was acquitted of first-degree murder charges and aggravated
child abuse charges, she was convicted of aggravated manslaughter.
This conviction came with a 20-year prison sentence.
Pelé
Edinho, son of soccer legend Pelé, is currently behind bars serving a lengthy term on charges
related to drug trafficking.
Despite the conviction, Edinho, who's a former soccer player himself, and his father both
still insist that he is innocent.
In 2005, Edinho and 51 others were arrested in a police sting, the result of an eight-month
investigation.
After appealing the drug trafficking charges, he was freed until 2014 when he was sentenced
to 33 years in prison.
This term would later be reduced to approximately 13 years, which Edinho began serving in February
of 2017.
Though he was released briefly in March of 2017 to continue his appeal process, he was
ordered back to prison in July of 2017.
Coolio
When Coolio was arrested in 2012 for some active bench warrants resulting from traffic
violations, he was held in the same jail that his son, Grtis Ivey, was already being held
in.
While the father would be released for his lesser crimes, the son would face a longer
road to freedom.
In November 2011, Grtis was arrested after he and a female accomplice allegedly robbed
an apartment while holding the tenant at gunpoint.
Grtis' accomplice was an alleged prostitute who chose the robbery victim after her failed
attempt to sleep with the man for money.
They then allegedly revisited the man's apartment a few nights later, but the target wasn't
home, though his roommate was.
The armed suspects then forced the roommate into the bathroom and robbed the place.
The two ultimately pled guilty to a felony robbery charge, and Grtis was sentenced to
up to 10 years in prison.
Wynonna Judd
The Judd family has quite a history.
Family matriarch Naomi continues to face mental health issues, while her daughters Wynonna
and Ashley have struggled with addiction and depression, respectively.
And the struggles are continuing to the next generation.
Wynonna's daughter Grace Pauline Kelley is now staring down eight years in prison for
violating probation.
In 2015, Kelley was nabbed by police for "promotion of meth manufacture."
The following year, she was arrested again.
She was sentenced to just shy of a year in jail, but that sentence was allowed to be
served on probation if she served a 30-day jail term.
She was also given a four-year sentence for evading arrest, but the courts allowed that
time to be served on probation as well, as long as she completed a 180-day rehab stint.
Sadly, Kelley allegedly left the rehab program early, thus leading to her eight-year sentence.
She's scheduled for release in August 2025, and she'll be up for parole in February 2019.
Jerry Remy
Former Boston Red Sox player-turned-broadcaster Jerry Remy has seen his children get into
trouble in the past.
In 2008, his son Jared was fired from his job as a security guard at Fenway Park over
alleged steroid use.
In 2010, his other son Jordan was arrested on assault and battery charges after an altercation
with a woman in the Boston Beer Garden.
Then, in July of 2013, his daughter Jenna was arrested for an alleged violent break-in
attempt at her ex-boyfriend's house.
Sadly, none of that could've prepared Jerry for the news that came in August of 2013:
Jared had murdered his girlfriend Jennifer Martel in front of their four-year-old daughter.
This came in the wake of Jared's 14 previous arrests.
The day before Jared stabbed Jennifer to death, he appeared in court for allegedly slamming
her face into a mirror.
With no bail sought by the prosecution, Remy was allowed to go home afterward.
He did so, and the next night Martel was dead.
In 2014, he was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole.
