The lawyer said he’s baffled that prosecutors pursued the case and that a youth judge oversaw a sentence that included probation and requiring the child to write a report about Kobe Bryant.
A 10-year-old Black child in Mississippi who urinated in public in August was sentenced Tuesday in youth court to three months’ probation, a decision the child’s attorney says was influenced by race.
Quantavious Eason, who is in the third grade, was arrested by Senatobia police Aug. 10 after a police officer saw him relieving himself outside next to his mom’s car when the woman was inside an attorney’s office, according to family attorney Carlos Moore.
Given the circumstances, any child would have done the same thing, Moore said. He noted there was no public restroom at the attorney’s office.
Well, how else should we punish children for…peeing in public? Should we beat them? No, that’s inhumane. Clearly the right answer is…checks notes… separate them from their families and stick them in a cage.
I mean it’s the American Way. We get them used to the cage when they’re young first and then when we throw them back in there later on
