When the Canadian pop star got hauled to jail for driving under the influence, an 8-year-old Belieber from Ohio, Serafina, was crushed.
When she found out about the news of her idol breaking the law, the second grader from Buckeye Central Elementary School in Ohio wrote an open letter to Bieber, that her mom shared on Fox News.
The letter read:
Dear Justin Bieber, I'm very disappointed. It breaks my heart that you were in jail for just one night. I loved most of your songs. I dance to them a lot! So many things have changed this year. This is the biggest one yet! Why did you do it? Why did you race cars? What made you do it? Didn't you know it was a bad thing to do?
You had such a great life! I've read your books and watched your movies. You had something special. But you gave it up for drugs. My whole life I have been warned about drugs! And now my idol has started taking them! There are many drunk people in the world and you have become one of them. That's sad to me! I think you should be disappointed in your self. Just take a minute to think about what you did.
According to the fan's mom, Ami, she used the arrest as a way to talk to her daughter about the choices she makes. According to a social psychologist, Susan Newman, "If your child seems to know about a star or celebrity, whatever his or her age, it is appropriate to the situation - whether positive or negative - to discuss it," Newman said to Yahoo!. "Negative behavior on the part of a celebrity is an opportunity to discuss unacceptable behavior and one more chance to assert your values."
The letter from the 8-year-old is not the only letter Bieber received following his time in the slammer. AirFastTickets.com, an online travel booking service wrote to the star, offering to fly him anywhere in the world for free as long as he's leaving the U.S.
Apparently, many share the same sentiment as the booking service, as a petition from Detroit called for the White House to revoke the Bieb's green card, which now has over 40,000 signatures.
