The article says the grandmother was guilty of a misdemeanor because I was wondering the same. A teacher’s aide at an elementary school with a criminal record is a big yikes. Maybe it was just an unpaid parking ticket or something.
But with this family it’s probably safer to assume something worse.
Ok she wrote a bad check so nothing violent or drug related on the surface.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we actually had journalists who would check these things out?
