'I'm with a young Indigenous lad at Children's Court. He is one of my
wife's students. He is 14. He has no family willing to attend with him.
He has no real idea of what is happening. The Police told him to "turn
up and plead guilty"...ALS don't seem prepared to fight the matter.'
Great work from the Aboriginal Legal Service in dealing with a broken
system. We need to fix these issues that ruin children's lives.
Via Kee Hinckley, who wrote: "Kafkaesque legal systems that discriminate
against the poor and minorities aren’t limited to the US."
