So, what do you suggest? That all laws be “suggestions?”

I suggest that government schools be abolished and the buildings razed to the ground.
Education is far too important to be entrusted to the State,

Put a middle-age white woman in prison over unpaid fines. What could possibly go wrong?
No, I don't think her death was of "natural causes".

How about no one can be jailed for truancy. Fines yes. Locked up no.

Americans of all political stripes are denouncing the practice and likening it to the debtors prisons from the nations Colonial days. and yet, these Americans continue to send their children to government school... 180 days a year for 13 years...

Well,her heirs have certainly won the lottery.

I am sorry that an event like this is necessary to force a study of social not criminal actions.
Since 1999...15 years? There is something much greater going on in this event and family!

In our village idiot's (Bob Carey Jr.) hometown of Scranton, we had a major scandal which broke the year or so before Jerry Sandusky kicked it off the front page: a Democrat judge was sending kids to juvenile detention for bullsh*t petty charges like this.
It turned out that he was being paid handsomely by the jail contractor (surprise! Another well-connected Democrat) who wanted to keep his detention facilities full so he could maximize the $300 plus per kid per day charge which was billed to the local county.
Given that this is Philadelphia, a city which makes even the sewage pond of Scranton look relatively clean, I've got to wonder if something similar is in play here.

May she R.I.P.
If no one could come forward to help her with her children’s truancy fines, I wonder who will pay her burial expenses (which are huge anyplace in this country)? And who will raise her children?
To: fwdude
So, what do you suggest? That all laws be suggestions?No, my suggestion would be that government not institute such stupid, oppressive? unproductive laws in the first place.

“the debtors prisons from the nations Colonial days”
Today, you can not go to jail for any debt EXCEPT OF COURSE IF YOU OWE IT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

Are the authorities just going to keep asking "pretty please?" in perpetuity? Stupid.

"DiNino had no ability to pay her $2,000 fine. She was reportedly unemployed, on welfare, and completely overwhelmed by her [SEVEN] children."
What?!? Had she claimed immaculate conception for the seven children, or was the court not able to find the children's father(s)?
