    This started when the mother called the cops because she didn't know who else to call.

    Never ever call the cops for family matters unless someones life is in danger.

She was incarcerated in May for violating her probation by not completing ...

    Supporters Emerge To Help Free Michigan Black Teen Incarcerated For Not Completing Online Schoolwork

    Outcry has emerged after a 15-year-old African American, Michigan girl was placed in juvenile detention by a judge for simply not doing her online homework. Nonprofit investigative news organization ProPublica ran a story on Tuesday (July 14) about the girl identified only as “Grace” for her protection. Despite Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s executive order in March suspending the confinement of juveniles who violate probation, except in the case of a court order, Grace was incarcerated in May for failing to complete the coursework. Judge Mary Ellen Brennan, presiding judge of the Oakland County (Mich.) Family Court Division, found Grace “guilty ...

    Teacher to Parent - Vast difference between buried and planted

    An article called “A Teenager Didn’t Do Her Online Schoolwork. So a Judge Sent Her to Juvenile Detention” paints an ugly picture of the juvenile justice system. Is the student just a thug or is this another example of systemic racism? Whoa. Before you brand a teenager a “thug” or everyone else a “racist,” let’s look critically at the evidence. The title of the ProPublica piece is misleading. Grace (not her real name), 15, was sent to juvenile detention for violating probation. The article’s thesis is that the juvenile justice system in Michigan is racially biased. Here’s the story: Grace’s ...
