There are so many things wrong with this story, I am not even sure where to start.
The kid is 10-years-old, he is playing a game that has been played by kids for decades, I find it extremely hard to believe if the situations were reversed the white kid would be changed with ASSAULT at the age of 10.
If anyone should be at fault it is the school. The mother of the white kid told them that he shouldn’t be playing those type of games at recess because of a condition he has but the school ignored her.
Frankly, this just makes me sick to my stomach.
Cameishi Lindley was shocked when she got a call from Wayne County Juvenile Court on Wednesday. It was about her 10-year-old son, Bryce.
The soon-to-be fifth grader is charged with Aggravated Assault, following a schoolyard game gone wrong.
“These kids are basically playing a game we all have played,” Lindley told 7 Action News.
Her son was also suspended from school for one day. She feels it should have ended there.
“This is a kid that was playing on the playground with his friends,” she says,
Now the black mother is going to be in debt because she is going to have to pay a lawyer to fight this. If every kid was charged with assault for what they did on the playground they would all be in juvenile.
This is just another way to criminalize young black children at an early age and it is sickening.
