Thirteen-Year-Old Arrested at School
from Providence News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A thirteen-year-old girl from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, was arrested in 2019 for allegedly fighting before school — a charge later dropped but not before she spent an hour in police custody. The ACLU sued, calling the arrest unconstitutional and racially motivated, sparking a national conversation about police presence in schools and discipline for young students. The case has now settled with a $5,000 payment to the girl — a small win, but a big step toward accountability and reform. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
