A 15-year-old girl who was placed in a juvenile detention facility, supposedly for not completing her homework, has been released from probation
A 15-year-old girl was supposedly placed in juvenile detention for failing to submit schoolwork, although a judge later said it was because she was a threat to her mother. PONTIAC, MICH. -- A suburban Detroit judge who sent a 15-year-old girl to a juvenile detention facility for not doing her homework released the teen from probation on Tuesday, after an appeals court ordered her release.
The girl was placed on probation in April in a case involving allegations of assault and theft, and had been in Oakland County's Children's Village since May for violating that probation, according to ProPublica. "This court's goal to place her was to address delinquent behaviour and improve life at home for her and her mother," Brennan said.
Brennan initially cited a "failure to submit to any schoolwork and getting up for school" for her decision to place the teen in juvenile detention.
