It is a sad story indeed, but we have all witness the children of Hollywood movie stars walk down the path of destruction. Recently the son of Nicholas Cage, Weston Cage, had the police come to his house for a domestic dispute charge. This was the second time that authorities had been called to his residence for a domestic dispute incident in less than a month. On both visits, Weston was charged with domestic violence.
At the time of the second call, Weston was arrested and taken to a hospital for the treatment of self inflicted cuts. While admitting to a problem with alcohol and substance abuse, all the drama with his wife lead to a big blow up, aired for everyone to see on the social media site Facebook, and the couple eventually divorced. He has since entered rehab, in an attempt to beat his addiction.
However more recently Cameron Douglas, the son of talented and famous actor Michael Douglas, was in trouble with the law once again. Cameron was arrested in 2009 for selling heroin and meth out of an upscale hotel in Manhattan. At his court hearing for the arrest, he was sentenced to five years after the judge decided that past displays of leniency were taken advantage of.
Yet, Cameron still can’t seem to beat his dependency on drugs. He just had his prison stay extended an additional four years after smuggling illegal substances into jail, violating prison policy. While it was only recommended that Cameron get an additional 12-18 months for smuggling drugs, the judge chose a harsher sentence. Noting that Cameron had also lied to authorities regarding how he obtained the smack and prescription pills while in prison, the ruling judge said that Cameron “is the most reckless criminal who’s ever been in his courtroom.”
