    Your issue is that she’s still there? The article implies that this only happened yesterday, so she’s only been there for 1 day. That’s not unreasonable for a felony.

      One day could be more than enough to traumatize a kid. She’s 11 and she played a very stupid prank likely because she didn’t understand the consequences due to being 11 years old. She doesn’t need to be put with 16-year-old violent offenders. Not even for a day.

      My daughter is a very well-behaved kid, but she also has terrible anxiety. If, by some similar incident that she didn’t realize was so serious, she ended up in juvie for a day, she would end up with PTSD.

        I understand what you’re saying completely. I’m not even saying that I disagree with you - to be honest, I’m not quite sure what to think about this circumstance.

        However, I will say that there are limits to being lax on someone just because they are a child. This was a serious offense that could have cost multiple people their lives and a serious response is justifiably warranted.

      Yeah. She’s 11 and didn’t commit a violent crime. I expect she would be taken into custody, paperwork filed and then released into her parent’s care. That’s normally how it works for non-violent offenses especially for first time offenders.

        If we were talking about shoplifting, sure. This case is more serious, however, and I’m not sure the same approach would be taken under the circumstances.
