A school district and local prosecutors in Texas are refusing to drop charges against an 11-year-old who was held in solitary confinement.
Officers detained the boy and placed him in solitary confinement for three days at the Darrell B. Hester Juvenile Detention Center. Cameron County prosecutors argued for charges of “terroristic threat.”
Despite being accused of ignoring Texas laws which require parental involvement before such interventions, Cameron County District Attorney Rene Garza told a hearing Wednesday that his office was gathering further evidence against Murray, rather than deciding to drop the charges.

There doesn’t even seem to be any info of the kid’s alleged crime.
Someone else posted it in the comments of this thread, it’s not great. Kid was just being annoying. Teachers a giant cunt. Not much more to know.
It was pulling a classmate’s hair and miming cutting their paper, although at first it was assumed he meant their finger.
The war on potty mouth continues.
“THIS KID IS A TERRORIST. NEED TO FIND EVIDENCE. GRAAAAAAAA”
