I am trying to wrap my head around the recent actions of a jurist I admired for her sense of justice, has somehow lost her way. I am embarrassed that our State, only recently recognized nationally for its juvenile justice system, a model for other states' to follow, has justified its actions in  locking up a young woman, acccused of no crime, only because she is a danger to herself and society, and no place to put her. Caged like a wild animal.

How ironic, that just this past Thurs and Friday believers around the world remember  a similar fate, centuries ago;  the mockery, condemnation and killing of man accused of no crime "only a danger to society and  threat to civil order."

This child deserve better, she deserves whatever necessary to be free from all she has suffered, she is owed dignity and a chance for a better tomorrow. I truly hope the decion makers come to their senses; for these actions are no better then that which she recieved at the hands of everyone entrusted to care for her.
