brinoaxe:bilt2tumble:bfpnola:When will this end? When will our children be able to live without fear of being criminalized for simply existing?[ID: Tweet by @/taniel. “When a 6-year old is dragged to court for picking a tulip. Read the North Carolina story: https://journalnow.com/north-carolina-sends-6-year-olds-to-court-why-some-say-its-time-for-change/article_e2a15a82-8383-11eb-91ee-43ce7c88753b.html” Screenshot of the article linked above that reads, “The 6-year-old dangled his legs above the floor as he sat at the table with his defense attorney, before a North Carolina judge. He was accused of picking a tulip from a yard at his bus stop, his attorney Julie Boyer said, and he was on trial in juvenile court for injury to real property. The boy’s attention span was too short to follow the proceedings, Boyer said, so she handed him crayons and a coloring book.”Retweet by @/DearDean22. “He was arrested for picking a tulip while he waited for the bus. Someone called the police on a 6 year old Black boy because he picked a flower. The police arrested him. He had to go to court w/ a criminal defense attorney who gave him a coloring book to sit still. We are hated.” End ID.]Click here for over 1,000 free social justice, mental health, and academic resources. Let’s make education and activism accessible to all.And people wonder how it’s even POSSIBLE that children have been kidnapped from their parents, by our Government and in the thousands, then confined in Concentration Camps at the border? It’s easy when you don’t see those children as Human Beings. This is what we’ve been fighting since this countries inception. The fight has never been paused, on-hold, or OVER & isn’t LIKELY to be ANY of those things for a LONG time. That’s just awful :c -- source link
