Actually you are wrong. Just go to :28 in the video. The Judge says (paraphrased by the reporter) that these kids that are skipping school aren’t at home watching tv, but they are breaking into houses, breaking into homes, doing drugs etc. THAT IS CRIMINAL acts that should be punishable by jail time and not only 3 days like these kids were getting. They are lucky I wasn;t the judge as they’d be getting more than 3 freaking days for their criminal acts.
That was what the reporter said about the judge’s statements.
At NO point in the court room scenes does the judge make any reference to any criminal behavior by the young people other than refusing to go to school.
If these kids were really breaking and entering that is the crime they would be charged with, ...certainly not truancy.
Let me get this straight. Kids were caught skipping school at the same time that crimes occurred, and you the judge are going to sentence the kids that skipped school as if they committed crimes? That’s what you said, correct?
