Yeah, because you don't know he got arrested and what for...
What she had sealed were the details in regard to his Mental Health. And again, why is her son part of your discussion? There is zero cause to bring up an adult child here as it applies to her.
You are a mother, would you not fight to keep your son's mental health records out of the frickin' news?
You are trying to play "gotcha" in the most hacktackular fashion. Were this a Dem I would expect Webbway to be on it like this. It takes special hack powers to get upset about a parent making sure their child's mental health records don't hit the newspapers.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

she shouldn't be allowed to point her finger at Obama, her son is mentally ill.....
Isaiah 6:5
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
Her son is part of the discussion due to her opposition to ObamaCare while her son is receiving constant medical attention. If she was so concerned about her son's information becoming public why did she wait 20 years? The public interest is not in her "child's" medical records, per se. The interest lies in her financial ability to help her son while opposing a program that may help other mothers who are not financially able.
I realize her son is now a guest of the penal system, however, I'm sure he received the best treatment prior to his run-in with the law. The point being, as a mother of an ill child, I have no doubt she obtained the best doctors and treatment available hoping to prevent exactly what occurred. Now she is fighting to prevent other "children" from receiving treatment whose mothers can not afford it.
(Excerpt) Earlier this year, Gov. Jan Brewer signed off on a $36 million reduction in funding to the Arizona Department of Health Services as part of an effort to close the state's billion-dollar budget gap.
The cuts, which included a wide swath of treatments and services for the mentally ill, impacted about 12,000 adults and 2,000 children not covered by the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, the state's Medicaid program…..
As governor, Brewer has made several key decisions about the mental-health services on which tens of thousands of patients rely.
Some have benefited the community; others have wreaked havoc on those needing care…..
Despite her longtime advocacy of mental-health issues, critics blasted Brewer earlier this year for cutting services to the mentally ill.
As of July, those with mental illnesses who don't qualify for AHCCCS now receive only basic doctor visits and generic medicine. People contemplating suicide are directed to a crisis hotline, but the state will no longer pay for them to be hospitalized…..
The cuts that took effect July 1 include:
• Case management. People with mental illnesses lost access to case managers who helped coordinate their care among doctors, psychiatrists and the rest of their team. Case managers check in with patients regularly to help them navigate the often confusing mental-health bureaucracy.
• Medication. In most cases, only generic medications are now available, a cause of concern for some patients who rely on name-brand medication to treat their symptoms effectively.
• Transportation. Clients are no longer given rides to and from appointments with their doctors.
• Housing. The state no longer subsidizes housing for those who are not Medicaid-eligible.
The state says people who are in housing will be allowed to stay there until a "safe and appropriate" alternative is found, although officials may eventually set a date for eviction if funding runs out.
The governor said cutting those services was gut-wrenching, noting that for 25-plus years she had served as that population's "cheerleader."
"It was hard. It was very, very hard," she said. (End)

Let’s boil this all down. Cuts, from medical care and drugs to housing and transportation affecting 12,000 adults and 2000 children, by the Governor of a State claiming a financial shortfall all the while said Governor is fighting against a Federal Bill (ObamaCare) which is already providing coverage for some of those things for “children” up to 26 years of age.
"It was hard. It was very, very hard," she said.
Hello???? Maybe if she stopped fighting against the solution, the solution offered by the Democratic Party, the ObamaCare solution…..but, no. When it comes to politics the compassionate, conservative, pro-life Republican party says to hell with other people’s kids. They’re expendable.
That's what this is all about.

Long wall of text for an easy answer to one question.
Why did she wait until the news agencies were showing an interest? Because it wasn't needed until then.
Reality: You too would take the same action to ensure your son's privacy wasn't invaded. We know he was arrested and why, the rest of this is sick curiosity and has no bearing on her other than as a hacktackular gotcha politics attack.
Her adult son is troubled, and has zero bearing on how she does her job any more than Obama's half brother has on his.
