Grace sent to juvenile facility for not turning in homework. [Please sign the change petition,it is in my bio] --- Per the article she was doing her work, she also asked for one on one help from the teacher. Her teacher says that she was doing well. She had permission to do her work at her own pace, and the work was supposed to be turned in at end of the semester. The semester was not over, how can she be accused of not doing work, when what she had done the teacher said was fine.. 15% of the county's youth is black, yet 42% of cases that went to Oakland court were black - -and per the article they are less likely to be offered any type of diversion, removed from home and sent to a facility--just as we are seeing in Grace's case. We have to band together as a community for our Black children. If this did not happen to her, it could have been my child or your child. But doing something we are putting them on notice saying, we see what you are doing, it is not right, and we will not stop until it is corrected. They are not even giving our children a chance, they are already sentencing them to the system as a child. We have learn the effects of confinement for adults, why are we doing this to our children? Other ways have to be found to hold children accountable for behavior, besides locking them up. Please sign so we can get her back home to her mother. --- #justiceforgrace #grace #judgemaryellenbrennan #maryellenbrennan #oaklandcounty #michigan #pontiac #charisse #homework #adhd #blacklivesmatter #blm #incarcerated #racial #racism #change #pleasesign #petitions #judge #institution #15 #blackgirlsmatter #sayhername #home #learning #onlinelearning #justice https://www.instagram.com/p/CCpENaglfzk/?igshid=1awtmlz9n2o6n
