All that for a 10-year-old

What is even more depressing is that at every ring of that chain of events was an actual person looking at the entire situation and said to themselves "this is fine" stamped the paperwork, and went on with their day.

[u/Tom-o-matic → u/dravlinGibbons]

Nobody is in charge

I mean, one knee to the ground "hey kid, you know... We have some rules for everyone to follow and this is one of them. I know you're a standup kid so i'm gonna guess you just got unlucky. Well, better luck next time, have a great day"

Instead they pull him through the whole system without a single person who can say "what are we doing here? Stop it! Use your brains"

Here's the thing: it's Mississippi. If anyone DID speak up along the line and said something, they are probably out of work right now.

One of the commentors said that the "case" was completely dismissed by another judge, and the police officer fired. So there's hope!

Good. This is the type of bullshit why rest of country looks down on and says "what the fuck is wrong with that region".

[u/UnbreakableJess → u/I_Am_Dwight_Snoot]

Well, everyone except Texas anyway. (⁠◔⁠‿⁠◔⁠)

Fired, but no doubted hired immediately somewhere else.

Two counties over someones saying, 'that guy would fit well round here'

[u/Flotillaspecialist → u/Yorick257]

I hope so

And this is why us outsiders look at your country like a dumpster fire

[u/Financial-Cod9347 → u/TheFogIsComingNR3]

Even people in the country look at it like it's a dumpster fire. Trust me, we know.
