I’m absolutely ashamed of Rensselaer county. No child belongs behind bars.
Rensselaer county attempting to charge a child with a felony offense. Yes, the crime is violent and wrong, but this is a child who should be being schooled and parented. In America children have almost zero legal rights, they are kept as non-autonomous entities by legal standards and 100% reliant on the adult world of which they are not allowed to participate, and yet are subject to the same punishments as adults who do have those rights. Absolute shame on anyone who condones the imprisonment of children, absolutely disgusting and shameful.
