There’s not enough information supplied.

Business Insider has a substantial paywall version. It’s an essay from Brittany Patterson read to a Jane Ridley, verified by Business Insider.

It’s much more detailed and less flowery than Reason.

Mother of 4

Soren (tween in question) is homeschooled

Had to take another 1/4 to the doctor

Soren could not be found so they left him, they have 16 acres, she assumed he was outside

She took 1/4 to the doctor

Soren got bored and went to talk to a friend’s grandmother that worked at a gas station, she wasn’t there, he went to the Dollar Store, police brought him home.

Was stopped by a concerned neighbor, he ignored her and kept walking. She called the cops.

Deputy hauled her off, booked her and locked her up under arrest on a charge of wreckless conduct. Out on bail.

wreckless conduct: Daring or bold, but also irresponsible Willfully disregarding rules, norms, or social conventions Showing a lack of concern for consequences or potential harm to others

The deputy said it wasn’t safe because it was a dangerous road. She said all kinds of things could have happened, including being kidnapped.

30 MPH road

Maybe he was doing something he REALLY shouldn’t have been doing.

Maybe they had it out for her for truancy vs homeschooling

Maybe she REALLY pissed in the deputy’s Wheaties,

Maybe it’s not the first time?

Smalltown shenanigans, police overreach, nanny state neighbors are friends with the cops.

Take your pick; it might make a nice bingo card.

We BEGAN our existence with slave holding white men who created documents to rule the country which stated “All men are created equally”. Then went home, treated the women in their lives like shit for the next 142 years AT LEAST, while also owning slaves.

Today slavery is mostly abolished, and women have equal rights.

Believe it or not, this IS progress…really really slow progress.

Really? That’s disappointing. That sounds like a Texas thing more than a California thing.

Shit, what’s next? Texas raises their min wage to $20 an hour, and tied to inflation?

God damn! These states are losing their identity. Michigan voted red…I mean, I know I’m legally obligated to hate Michigan as a resident of Ohio, but damn. Michigan used to make me jealous of their government. Now it’s voted red.

And yes, I’m aware Ohio also voted red. But we’re Ohio. Nobody was expecting anything cool from us. Michigan had expectations.

Of coarse none of that matters. Without PA, Harris had no path to victory. So, we should all be mad at PA.

So I propose for the next 4 years we boo every PA sports team. Their residents don’t deserve happy sports.

Of coarse, that being said, who CAN you cheer??? I propose Seattle. That way, you don’t have to cheer the Yankees. Plus, you don’t get caught up in the whole Boston fued.

Who’s going to fued with Seattle? Assholes. That’s who.

I used to believe this, I truly did think that overall there was progress. But I’m worried now because it looks like we’re going backwards, I just hope we don’t slide too far that we legitimately undo it all.

There are more slaves nowadays than ever before, we just outsourced them to the south with some middleman that way pay so nobody can say, that we are slave holders anymore.

Jeez…assuming this is a true story and not embellished…

Early 90’s. Latchkey kid. Come home from school to our Acreage out of town. Get on bike and ride to the nearest corner-store, which was a highway rest-stop a couple of kilometres away. I’d have to (SHOCK) cross the highway AND a railroad track of all things to get there!

My god why weren’t my parents imprisoned!!!

Do I need to add the /s tag, or is it clear enough?

I was a latchkey kid starting at 8 years old. It was awesome, I could eat cereal and watch old episodes of Batman and Gilligan’s Island

I want jail to not be the default setting in this country.

Maybe she’s a shitty parent, but that’s something that can be worked on. She can be taught. It’s not like she’s some kind of soulless paycopath going from house to house traumatizing all the kids. There is absolutely no need to lock his person up.

And now that she’s locked up, the kid has no parent at all. Does anyone really think this is the best solution?

I wish my people weren’t so fucking lazy. Do the work. Figure something else out. Find out how to address this individual’s needs without just waving your hand and saying, put her in jail and move on.

For what it’s worth, she was “quickly” released on bail (the article doesn’t say how quickly), and the prosecution is not seeking further jail time but rather for the mom to sign a “safety plan” (although not signing could indeed lead to a year of jail time).

Your point is correct, but “the kid has no parent at all” isn’t (currently) true.
