She’s young enough for “truancy” laws to apply to her, but old enough to be charged as an adult??
Whenever a public official says they are going to “make an example” out of an individual, they are going to violate common sense and/or basic rights in favor of political posturing. No official that does this should be left in power.
Oh, they almost never “make an example” out of a member of a group with a strong sense of identity politics.
The entire concept of "making an example" out of one person flies in the face of "equal protection under the law".
Any time the law is applied more harshly against one individual without just cause to do so, and out of mere caprice, a person shows they are not worthy of the power they wield.
