I thought the only countries that imprisoned children, were the kind of ones that forbid women's ankles in public - guess I was wrong.

#5> [...] Garza called law enforcement, who detained him and placed him in solitary confinement for three days at the Darrell B. Hester Juvenile Detention Center in Brownsville.
Of all the people involved in that decision and its execution, did anybody even had a fleeting thought of this being wrong?

#7School administrators are, for some wild reason, given strange power over law enforcement (the School Resource Officers) either on purpose or just in practice.
I’ve been arrested and taken to a detention center for simply refusing an order to detention without being given my write-up on the basis that being punished without being told about the infraction is wrong. In all, I was arrested and given a generic “Disturbing the Peace” style charge as a minor but, charged as an adult, because three weeks prior I had worn a jacket that was not on the list of school approved colors while in a poorly heated out-building. All because petit tyrants refused to honor the basic human right of telling the punished their crime.
These government schools and their seemingly unimpeachable administrators need reigned in as surely as the police and prosecutors. Whether they choose prosecution to cover for their weak egos or out of simple laziness, it’s unacceptable that they punt on problems and then invoke “Zero Tolerance” the second they’re expected to solve minor problems.

#8I don’t know how this translates into American legal language but do school officials have a statutory duty of care towards the children?

#10Everything wrong with the US justice system in one headline.
That's certainly a gross exaggerating but that went through my head when reading it. I didn't even know if this was about a case in the US. I just assumed it.
