🚨#BREAKING: A mother is FURIOUS after a Pennsylvania town CRIMINALLY CHARGED her two little girls, ages 10 and 12, and dragged them into court...
...because a playground swing broke while they were spinning on it.
Yes, you read that right.
The two girls twisted the chains to get dizzy, the chain snapped, and the borough's response was CRIMINAL MSCHIEF CHARGES for a 10-year-old.
This is Springdale, Pennsylvania, just outside Pittsburgh.
On May 21st, a group of kids were playing at Veterans Memorial Park where two sat on the swing and the others twisted the chains up tight and let go, so the swing would spin them dizzy.
Every one of us did this as a kid... hundreds of times.
The chain broke. Nobody was hurt.
Two weeks later, a POLICE OFFICER showed up at Katie Huss's front door with SURVEILLANCE PHOTOS of the children on a swing.
The borough had split the repair bill among five kids.
$59 dollars each.
Three families paid up and their kids' charges disappeared.
Katie demanded more information:
"Show me the evidence my daughters did this on purpose and show me the swing was even inspected prior to this occuring."
She didn't pay and so her 10 and 12-year-old daughters were CHARGED WITH A CRIME.
Criminal mischief.
BY the way... under Pennsylvania's criminal code, that is a charge that requires INTENT.
The two little girls were terrified and had to sit in a courtroom while a police officer testified against them for "not using the swing properly."
Thankfully, the judge threw it out and found them not guilty.
It was CLEARLY an accident, not a crime.
...you would think it would end there, but it doesn't!!!
The borough is now threatening to sue this mother in CIVIL court over $180.
And Katie still hasn't been allowed to see the video they used against her children, it was shown to the lawyers, but not to the mom.
Nearly every single day, violent repeat offenders WALK OUT OF JAIL ALL THE TIME to prey on innocent people...
...but INSTEAD of dealing with that, we have built a system that lets predators go and prosecutes children for playing AT A PARK USING SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE TO WATCH THEM
America, we have LOST THE FREAKING PLOT!!!!
@KellyLMcCarty Idk 🤷♂️ it’s at an ugly tipping point. This story is not something to take lightly but also shouldn’t even be a thing. Guilty. We have so much fish to fry and it all seams to escape out of the net with zero accountability
@WeaponsVault The gun influencers are getting worse than the workout influencers on making fun of people. Just let it be… people will always create their own path if you don’t offer to show them.
@sarahadams@buckeyemav@AmericanAir Freedom of speech is double sided knife on this one. Idk if he was being aggressive or drunk but if it was just words they are going to be paying him to fly private.
“It’s an open investigation, so I can’t divulge that information.”
James Freeman does the one thing cops and government employees absolutely cannot handle: he talks to them exactly the way they talk to us. Watch how fast they melt down the moment the script flips.
@Psa10DotCom@RockandPinball@jammles9 I don’t know who pays for your shit but grass isn’t cheap to take care of and a lot of people with common sense usually like to keep their shit nice.
@trumplicans2024 Lincoln logs where the best. I used to set up a whole town in my backyard and put army figures in them and shoot them with my BB gun. My kids still ask why bbs are stuck in them 😂
@AmiriKing@HAIM__GOZALI Are Ashkenazi Jews Jewish? And who makes a comparison on Nobel prize winners. Isn’t that the prize only given by pedos to other pedos?
