'She does this all the time, and she keeps getting away with it because of who she is.' 911 Call From Noelle Bush's Rehab Center: apparently Noelle brought in drugs several times and when the rehab center wouldn't follow procedure and call 911 themselves, 24 patients banded together and made the call themselves. That's how she was caught.

why was she in a rehab for women with children in the first place?

"While Noelle has been given every break in the book -- and then some -- her father has made it harder for others in her position to get the help they need by cutting the budgets of drug treatment and drug court programs in his state. He has also actively opposed a proposed ballot initiative that would send an estimated 10,000 nonviolent drug offenders into treatment instead of jail."

why do we need to see a video for this?

I doubt this girl has gotten that many more breaks then the average rich aristocratic-type girl has.

Not surprising.

If you were running the rehab centre you would try to keep the wheels as greased as possible, wouldn't you? Centres' like this often live hand-to-mouth year in and out and this kind of publicity they just don't need.

They probably want to get her in and out as soon as possible, irregardless of whether she's clean or not.
