A 17-year old honor student was jailed and fined in Texas for missing too much school (in Texas, that's 10-days in six months). The judge completely ignored the extenuating circumstances: the girl is a breadwinner working two jobs, one full and one part-time, to financially support her siblings after they were all abandoned by their parents. She admits that because of it some mornings, she is too tired to make it to school on time; other days, she misses classes.
I don't know what the hell that judge is trying to punish

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
