Kay is a Messianic Jew and they do not cut their or their children's hair for religious reasons. She is now in solitary and on a hunger strike for their refusal to allow her access to needed medical treatment, for their blatant disregrad of her devoutly held religious beliefs and for her illegal incarceration.

Anti-semitism? Racism? Cruel and unusual punishment? Guilty until proven innocent (as in all cases with family "services")?

Where is the freakin' ACLU?

Upon the advice of counsel, she pled guilty to simple battery and was placed on probation (yes, she regrets it).

In this situation, given the abuses of power, admission of guilt is a big no-no.

So where is the talk show? Anyone contacted 60 Minutes? You have to publicly demonstrate the egregious idiocy of these beaurocrats before corrective action will occur.

Guilty until proven innocent

Read the story again. She's already plead guilty to "simple battery" (which is probably battery under 940.19(1), a class A misdemeanor) and was sentenced to probation. The maximum jail time is nine months.
