This is the saddest thing I’ve seen in a long time:

Kayleb Moon-Robinson — who is diagnosed as autistic — had barely started sixth grade last fall in Lynchburg, Virginia, when a school resource officer filed charges against him. Kayleb was charged with disorderly conduct for kicking over a trash can and then with felony assault on a police officer because he struggled to break free when the cop grabbed him…

a Lynchburg juvenile court judge found Kayleb guilty of all those charges in early April…

Doss (the little boy’s mother) said the judge had a deputy show him a cell, and told him if he gets into trouble again he could go straight to youth detention.

“He said that Kayleb had been handled with kid gloves. And that he understood that Kayleb had special needs, but that he needed to ‘man up,’ that he needed to behave better,” Doss said. “And that he needed to start controlling himself or that eventually they would start controlling him.”

Well, he’s an 11 yr old Black child, so there’s that.

Even though his mother is the daughter of a cop, she could do little.
