The only reason this went through is because they went before a judge who's a massive CHUD.

Judge Mark McGinnis got tossed out of his job as a truancy court judge for mocking disabled kids and unilaterally tossing black kids into care without informing their parents.

I wanted to know more about truancy court and instead found this weird bit on wikipedia about Denmark

quote:

In Denmark, some welfare benefits[clarification needed] can be confiscated for a period if the child does not attend school. However, not all cities use this approach to keep the children in school.[6] Most cities[clarification needed] watch for families who have not returned their children to school after the summer vacation because some groups exiled their children to their ethnic home countries for behavior modification. In the city of Aarhus, 155 children had not turned up one week after school started.

Can you just banish your children to the blightlands for not going to school in Europe or something

Dunno about the welfare bit but here in norway parents (and the state) have a duty and responsibility of making sure kids go to a real school. If i, as a parent, decide to pull my son out of school, i would be royally hosed by the government.

I mean yes I'm pretty sure that's what the "truancy court" thing is about too, basically everywhere with compulsory education has that, I'm more confused by the suspicious line about "ethnic" people somehow smuggling their kids out of the country during summer vacation

No truancy court is about jailing and punishing kids and their parents, for profit. The "right to education" thing we have going here is not like that. Like, maybe you as a parent will be fined, forced to send your kid back to school etc. Not sending literal children to jail for skipping school or being too black or whatever. E: also denmark is very racist. Every foreigner is a muslim who will send his underage children to the middle east to be raped!!!

Yeah. We do have some actual stories about kids getting sent to the middle east by their parents because they were acting "too Danish", but as usual, the reaction is completely out of proportion, and probably does more to further alienate Muslims in Denmark. I think the point is more about punishing people for being brown than about money though.

Where are you getting that, because I'm not finding any "they can send your kid to jail for profit!!!!" poo poo. Like usually Florida picks the worst possible version of any system so I can usually just check our local laws, but according to that the most they can do is order the kid and/or parents to do various things like attend counseling, and if they don't comply with that then they can refer the case to social services.

I mean I'm willing to believe there's prolly districts out there that will arrest your kid for not going to school but even if you assume the profit motive it makes a lot more sense to arrest and fine the parents since kids tend to not have any money

(a) Suspension of the person's operating privilege for not less than 30 days nor more than one year. The court may take possession of any suspended license. If the court takes possession of a license, it shall destroy the license. The court shall forward to the department of transportation a notice stating the reason for and the duration of the suspension.
(b) An order for the person to participate in counseling or a supervised work program or other community service work as described in s. 938.34 (5g). The costs of any such counseling, supervised work program or other community service work may be assessed against the person, the parents or guardian of the person, or both. Any county department of human services or social services, community agency, public agency or nonprofit charitable organization administering a supervised work program or other community service work to which a person is assigned pursuant to an order under this paragraph acting in good faith has immunity from any civil liability in excess of $25,000 for any act or omission by or impacting on that person.
(c) An order for the person to remain at home except during hours in which the person is attending religious worship or a school program, including travel time required to get to and from the school program or place of worship. The order may permit a person to leave his or her home if the person is accompanied by a parent or guardian.
(d) An order for the person to attend an educational program as described in s. 938.34 (7d).
(e) An order for the department of workforce development to revoke, under s. 103.72, a permit under s. 103.70 authorizing the employment of the person.
(f) An order for the person to be placed in a teen court program as described in s. 938.342 (1g) (f).
(g) An order for the person to attend school.

(i) Any other reasonable conditions consistent with this subsection, including a curfew, restrictions as to going to or remaining on specified premises and restrictions on associating with other children or adults.
(j) An order placing the person under formal or informal supervision, as described in s. 938.34 (2), for up to one year.

a couple of judges got convicted in 2008 for getting kickbacks from private juvenile prisons

"private juvenile prisons" gda

and they're just the ones that got caught


quote:

Acting under a rarely used power established in 1722 and reserved for extraordinary circumstances, known as "King's Bench jurisdiction", the Pennsylvania Supreme Court appointed Senior Judge Arthur Grim of the Berks County Court of Common Pleas as special master to review all juvenile cases handled by Ciavarella on February 11, 2009. He returned with his findings in an interim report dated March 11, 2009. He recommended that all adjudications handed down by Ciavarella from 2003 to 2008 be vacated, and that the affected juveniles' records be expunged. He concluded that due to Ciavarella's disregard for the juveniles' constitutional rights, as well as the kickbacks, no one who appeared before Ciavarella in that period had a truly impartial hearing. On March 26, 2009, the Supreme Court approved Grim's recommendations and ruled that Ciavarella had violated the constitutional rights of thousands of juveniles, and initially hundreds of juvenile adjudications were ordered overturned.

the most brain bending thing is when schools punished kids for skipping school by suspending them. your punishment for not going to school was... being told not to come to school

i guess they realized that suspending kids who don't give a gently caress was basically rewarding their bad behavior, so they started in-school-suspension, where you have to go to school and sit in a room in the back hallway all day. students and faculty alike actually called it "the hole" at my old high school

Murfreesboro has sucked since about 2010, sorry to break it to you. I lived there for 5~ years off/on as early as 2002.

Davis Market closing was really a sign of the times.

E: goddamnit, I just remembered Davis was where I used to get Dr. Enuf soda. Miss that flat rear end 7up knockoff. Also the $7 gallons of keg beer Davis would sell back in the 00s.

There's a nice, not well known trail south-ish of town called Cedar Glades and Flat Rock trail, about a 3.5 mile loop. Great place to scatter some weed seeds.
