The real bride wars

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- A Pittsburgh-area bride and groom have taken plea deals in a hotel brawl with another wedding party the night they got married.
David Wielechowski (wee-luh-CHOW'-skee) was told Tuesday that he'll enter a probation program for first-time offenders. He is a dentist, and his record will be expunged if he provides free dental care to needy children for six months.
His wife couldn't enter the program because of a past drunken driving conviction. Instead, Christa Wielechowski pleaded guilty to harassment. She'll spend six months on house arrest and pay $600 in fines.
Police say the couple fought with people who tried to help Christa Wielechowski after her husband kicked her during an argument. The Wielechowskis have denied that.

Am I the only one who can't get past the part about providing free dental care to needy children? I really can't believe the courts would authorize torture on small children. Of course, I am a rabid anti-dentite, so I could be biased.
