This post and posts like this should be taken with a big grain of salt.
There's not enough information supplied.
Business Insider has a substantial paywall version. It's an essay from Brittany Patterson read to a Jane Ridley, verified by Business Insider.
It's much more detailed and less flowery than Reason.
Mother of 4
Soren (tween in question) is homeschooled
Had to take another 1/4 to the doctor
Soren could not be found so they left him, they have 16 acres, she assumed he was outside
She took 1/4 to the doctor
Soren got bored and went to talk to a friend's grandmother that worked at a gas station, she wasn't there, he went to the Dollar Store, police brought him home.
Was stopped by a concerned neighbor, he ignored her and kept walking. She called the cops.
Deputy hauled her off, booked her and locked her up under arrest on a charge of wreckless conduct. Out on bail.
wreckless conduct: Daring or bold, but also irresponsible Willfully disregarding rules, norms, or social conventions Showing a lack of concern for consequences or potential harm to others
Maybe he was doing something he REALLY shouldn't have been doing.
Maybe they had it out for her for truancy vs homeschooling
Maybe she REALLY pissed in the deputy's Wheaties,
Maybe it's not the first time?
Smalltown shenanigans, police overreach, nanny state neighbors are friends with the cops.
Take your pick; it might make a nice bingo card.
Thanks!
