For Allowing 14-Yr-Old To Babysit During COVID Lockdowns

100 Percent Fed Up – Over 16,000 childcare providers permanently closed their doors during the pandemic due to covid restrictions and rising labor costs caused by the Biden regime’s inflation. The closures have left many working parents without childcare, causing them to stay home or come up with alternate solutions. One single working mother allowed her 14-year-old daughter to babysit her 4-year-old son while she was at work. The child got out of the house for a brief 15 minutes to visit his friend, the parents of his friend called the police. The police took down her information and returned two weeks later, arrested the mother in front of her children.

The Daily Mail Reports–

“A single mother faces one year in prison after she let her 14-year-old daughter babysit her siblings while she went to work at the beginning of the pandemic – an act some are calling ‘reckless,’ and others defend as the act of a desperate mother.

Melissa Henderson, a single mother of five, is charged with criminal reckless conduct after she let her children under the care of her eldest child, 14-year-old Linley, in May 2020 when COVID shut down their daycare center.

Linley was reportedly engaging in online learning and did not notice that her four-year-old brother, Thaddeus, had slipped out of the house when he saw his friend outside and went to play with him in Blairsville, Georgia.

Within about 10 to 15 minutes, Linley noticed he was gone and found him at his friend’s house down the street.

But in the meantime, the friend’s mom called the police, and about two weeks later, Henderson was arrested in front of her children, according to Reason Magazine:

Now Henderson, a single mom in Blairsville, Georgia, is facing criminal reckless conduct charges for letting her 14-year-old babysit. The charges carry a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a fine of $1,000. The arresting officer, Deputy Sheriff Marc Pilote, wrote in his report that anything terrible could have happened to Thaddeus, including being kidnapped, run over, or “bitten by a venomous snake.” (When Henderson protested that the kid was only gone a few minutes, Pilote responded that a few minutes was all the time a venomous snake needed.)

The case has been in the court system for two years. Henderson’s lawyer claims the charges are unconstitutional. A Georgia Supreme Court ruling in 1997 threw out the prosecution of a parent who left their child at home, allowing their older sibling to watch over them when they died in a tragic accident. The court claimed that the decision could not be seen as ‘reckless conduct’, since it is a decision that many parents make on a regular basis.

Rwck the economy, then torture people for working around it! I hope this family is seeing that govt at large is a vicious, edacious wild beast that want to kill them after this outrage.

But I doubt it.

Oh, I've got plenty for her. Rotten bitch -- we're too far from the colonial era for our own good.
