    Your issue is that she’s still there? The article implies that this only happened yesterday, so she’s only been there for 1 day. That’s not unreasonable for a felony.

      One day could be more than enough to traumatize a kid. She’s 11 and she played a very stupid prank likely because she didn’t understand the consequences due to being 11 years old. She doesn’t need to be put with 16-year-old violent offenders. Not even for a day.

      My daughter is a very well-behaved kid, but she also has terrible anxiety. If, by some similar incident that she didn’t realize was so serious, she ended up in juvie for a day, she would end up with PTSD.

      Yeah. She’s 11 and didn’t commit a violent crime. I expect she would be taken into custody, paperwork filed and then released into her parent’s care. That’s normally how it works for non-violent offenses especially for first time offenders.
