Mom Arrested, Shackled Over Son's Unexcused School Absences

A Georgia mother and substitute teacher says she was arrested and placed in shackles because of her son's unexcused absences.

Julie Giles reportedly wrote on Facebook that a warrant had been issued for her arrest after her son tallied 12 unexcused absences from school.

The total is six more than the Screven County school district allows. Giles argued that her son's doctor re-issued a note for three of the absences, meaning she would be arrested over a total of three absences.

Giles said she was briefly placed in ankle shackles, with police saying it was normal procedure. She was released and given a court date in July, but faces jail time.

No siree we're not living in a police state here in the U.S., no sir.
How TF can a GD cop go through with some BS like this? It just continues to show how these Nazi boot lickers are bowing to the anti-American traitors and their effort to destroy liberty and freedom in America.

"Due to higher copays than she can afford, she said sometimes she must keep her children home without being able to get a doctor's note."

The woman has a very valid point.

the cops did not make the law that got her arrested in the first place. they are only serving a warrant issued by a judge. its their job to take her into custody, and part of that custody is handcuffing. if she doesnt like the law, her beef is with the state legislators, not the police.

You know not of what you speak, pal. I merely point out how screwed up this country has become. It's up to people to digest and understand my comments. And, I can see quite clearly you're not well educated enough on any of it to understand.
