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.

So his father dies and he asks his school for counselling and they respond by calling the police who lock him in solitary confinement and CPS threatens his mother with taking him away?
Also, the principal, prosecuted AND judge all seem to be family.
He also pretended to cut someone’s hair
Lesson learned
