I hope the jury in this case will have pity on the mother and disdain for the goverment. We live in a predatory state that shows no compassion or mercy for the down and out. For a mother trying to take care of her child and help the little one get an education under the circumstances. It is a damn if you do and damn if you don't situation for many people affected by the economic conditions. Government has no mercy for the people and will make examples of people to make that point.
In Bridgeport,CT. Tanya McDowel was charged with grand larceny for stealing around $16,000 from the school district. The cost per child to be educated is how the School district came up with around $16,000. Tanya used the Babysitters address to enroll her child in school while Mother worked and stay in shelter at night.You have to look at the circumstances. If Mom did not have an address to place child in school.If she told the school she was homeless.The State social services would take child away from mother. About grand larceny and conspiracy to commit grand larceny? With the cost of $16,000 per student.There is some real hypocrisy here. With that high number sounds very overinflated and seems like people in government have been conspiring to commit larceny too. Many Private schools can charge a lot less for a better education that what Bridgeport offers. I wonder how much of the $16,000 actually makes it to the classroom.
I am not sticking up for the mother.She was doing her best under the circumstances to work with and put her son in school. To manage for her is next to impossible. For the system to kick people when they are down is cold and callous. Times are hard and to add insult to injury add another hardship. That $25,000 to bond out on.If she had to use a bail bondsman and pay $2500 that is ten percent of the bail she was probably saving to get an apartment is now spent to stay out of jail.
I remember back in the early 1980s.Some families were homeless.Schools worked with the families to help find suitable housing and find them work.They never called social services to snatch the child away. School administrators accommodated and worked with the parents when there were in distress so the children can have an education. There must be better options the school administrators could have implemented without causing further hardship on a single mother so she can get back on her feet and get a residence with a valid address. I just find it wrong to kick a person when they are down like this. What ever happened to compassion and pity? Why are bureaucrats so big on rules either way.

The lesson that school district teaches is well learned by millions of our Students every year. Capitalism does not work, capitalist do not manage people or public systems well. The school district has the power as an invisible group. But as public people they need some sort of balance with the real world.
ReplyDeleteI bet her kid is never late and is top of the class. Charge her with doing whatever it takes to keep her kid in school, and get her family some help. What is happening to this country?
ReplyDeleteWow ... is there any common sense left in this world? How anyone can agree with this il(legal) system is beyond my comprehension. This story should go viral. It is a perfect example how our society works or doesn't!!! How very, very, very sad.
ReplyDeleteThese motherfu*ckers...when the revolution happens remember who they are...tar and feather them and dip them twice in tar. Bastards.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Anonymous. I am for building the largest scaffold in the history of the world encircling Wash. D.C. Hang all of Congress, the President and VP and all his staff, heads of departments, the Supreme Court, CEOs, most banksters and Wall St. thieves, the Federal Reserve, and I guess a whole lot of shool officials now too. Let's show no mercy. And make the little boys with the NO FEAR stickers piss their fucking pants!
ReplyDeleteIn the county I live in DEA uses pregnant women as drug snitches, if that gives you any Idea the value of children in our community, it's shameful.
