U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., said on MSNBC July 20,"If it was a white young person, I really question whether the judge would have done this.""She was not detained because she didn't turn her homework in," Oakland County family court Judge Mary Ellen Brennan said, according to ProPublica."She was detained because I found her to be a threat of harm to her mother based on everything I knew.
Grace attends Groves High School in Beverly Hills, Michigan, where distance learning was in effect because of the pandemic. Parents and students in the suburban Detroit community have demonstrated in support of Grace's release. Oakland County Executive David Coulter said in a statement recently that the case should be reviewed and that fewer people should be detained during the pandemic."But we can’t forget Grace is just one case in our broken criminal justice system," she
Locking up our children is nothing new in our country...thus explains the building if such juvenile detention centers.
I thoight it had to do with a probation violation
Why is this national news and why is her race relevant? There is definitely more to the story but the media is DESPERATE to get Joe Biden elected. So EVERYTHING needs to be geared to make back people angry.
NBC looks more like fake news.
So that's were Democrats come from.
How many times are you going to repeatedly tweet this ?
File under 'Fake News.'
Tell the fucking truth for once! It was a condition of her probation that she was on.
Click. Bait. She wasn’t in there for not doing homework. Cmon nbc JFC
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 wtf! She was arrested for not doing her homework?
Really stupid
How the fuck is this happening in 2020?
America under Trump has totally lost its way
'Grace's detainment came out of violating probation related to charges of assault and theft' - sounds lovely.
another headline lie by msdnc. 'She was not detained because she didn't turn her homework in,' Oakland County family court Judge Mary Ellen Brennan said'
It's obvious who didn't read the article.🤣🤣
Homework was part of her existing PROBATION terms! The Media won’t tell the real story. They just want everyone to feel bad for the criminals & hate the criminal justice system.
GOOD BUT SHE SHOULDA NEVER BEEN PLACED IN DETENTION IN THE FIRST PLACE. FIX OUR BROKEN SYSTEMS, AMERIKKKA. DAMN.
Is this true? Wow! Detained for not doing her homework or for just being black? Since when the refusal of doing homework is crime?
I doubt they'd do this to a white student
SharonReedLive I really did not believe this story line was real! Smh
That was ridiculous. Yes, she was on probation, so technically she broke probation, but NOT by doing something truly criminal. You want truly criminal, take a look in the Oval Office.
Aren't they nice?
I was just joking about the fake polls comment. Apologies if I offended.
About f-ing time.
Shame on her mother for calling the cops to begin with.. This COMPLETELY falls on her shoulders. NEVER put your kid in this racist system
Headline doesn't mention she was on probation and homework was part of the terms of probation. Enemy of the people.
Fake News
You shouldn't go to jail if you don't do you homework. What the fuck is wrong with you, America?
She should stay in detention until she finishes her homework.
Guess we won’t see her as the next generation of “Hidden Figures.”
uh she was detained bcus she was physically threatening her mother.. This doesn't help real injustices in BLM or ongoing injustices for the last 400 yrs srsly ..
Huh?😲
FakeNewsMedia
Do your homework kids
Thank God. Now remove the judge who is part of the school to prison pipeline and the FACT that she doesn’t know it means she needs to be removed.
TaoliLiu Fake news!
She was also a special education student who wasn't getting her services, so I hope she lawyers up.
Homework is a felony? Weird laws.
First off, she was NOT placed in detention bcuz failed 2do homework; she was placed in detention bcuz she was DANGER to her mother (prev altercations)! Also, it wasn't just detention, it was treatment/training prgrm; judge saw she was making good progress so best for her to stay!
WTF!?!?🤔🙄
This prison sentence for this poor girl is evil incarnate. What has happened to justice. It's homework not drugs, that judge is a moron.
So do your hw.
And you want to know how fascism starts. You are looking at it on the regular.
Fake news
How stupid. Stop wasting tax payers money
It seems blatantly obvious that that girl has no right to be a juvenile for such an incomprehensible sentence.
Sticking with the misleading headline on this story. Poor journalism.
Good that was ridiculous. Hope she sues
How is news media continuously allowed to misrepresent their own news stories?
Really? Creating false news headlines again? She was not detained because she didn’t complete her homework. She was detained because they felt like she was a threat, which it states in your article. Also she was on probation and she had a rule she had to follow.
NBC retake in 3...2...1
She Finally finish that homework
Why are you NBC constantly pushing black Americans against white Americans We all got along and were getting along just fine until you and the MSMEDIA are pushing the 24/7 propaganda war. Why? Are you part of the COUP on our American President? Your Evil
Bet not doing homework was not the reason for detention.
You are stoking the flames of racial friction. Shameful and irresponsible. And actually, evil, considering the stakes.
She was placed in juvenile detention for being a threat to her mother. NOT for incomplete homework.
YOUR HEADLINE IS MISLEADING!!!!!!! STOP making it sound as though she was jailed for just not doing her homework!!! MUCH more to her story!!
I hope that Judge Brennan will be put in jail and lose her spot as a judge.
'Placed in a detention center after violating the terms of her probation'
Few read the damn article, or many are just that stupid. I'll be curious how this is whiteys fault, if God forbid, the judge was right and something bad happens as a result of releasing her.
I'm ALL for her being released; as I tweeted early on... I just hope, from NOW ON, she DOES what SHE KNOWS she NEEDS/HAS to do; in order for her to have a SUCCESSFUL LIFE and FUTURE. BEST of EVERYTHING to her and her mom/family.
Quit with the bullshit headline. Tell the whole story and stop baiting hate every damn day.
She was there because she broke the terms of her probation (from assault and theft charge). She has been sent home to a mother who lacks the ability to control her (where was mom when she failed to meet the terms of probation). Secure detention is where she should be, not at home
Race baiting NBC news at it again. When the actual demand for racism never meets the needed supply you get stories like this and hoaxes like Jussie Smollet.
“Placed in detention center after she ate breakfast…” makes about the same amount of sense. This was someone with a repeated problem of dangerous behavior issues, assault, theft… Child welfare recommended institutionalization. Truancy… It was TRUANCY … Was only a last straw.
Now actually arrest this teen instead of this ridiculous sentencing!!
Old news, either do yer job of reporting NEWs or fire em.
Right there in your article. It’s not why she was detained.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
This is really shameful.
Hahaha. She was arrested for being a threat to her mom.
Literally says in the article she had assault and theft allegations against her mom
Assault theft violation of probation that’s the reason but it doesn’t fit your baiting narrative. Pathetic
IT IS INCREDIBLE THE SHIT THE WHITE SYSTEM DOES TO BLACK PEOPLE. NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO A WHITEKID. THEN PEOPLE WONDER WHY THERE ARE PROTESTS.
I feel like Trump and Stephen Miller are somehow behind this
Still don't get the harshness of US justice.
