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.

Uyghurs are pretty much all in detention and reeducation and sterilization centers, kids included. China wants the next generation to suck Winnie's dick too

I searched it up. Uyghur children all have at least one parent detained but they are sent to highly guarded Mandarin schools and state orphanages, never sterilization, thankfully.
