My first time in court was at 7, for truancy, and they made my seven year old ass plead guilty. Didn’t explain to me why you go to school, didn’t ask why I wasn’t going, just told me if I didn’t go to school I’d be in contempt of court. And when I still didn’t go to school, they held me in fucking contempt of court lmao, and ordered my mom to go to school with me for a time.
