    my favourite part is how she’s going to study law, but there’s no mention of her mother, so I can only presume this kid thinks people do actually belong in jail.

    You think he community rallies around young Black kids and raises money for their orthodontic work too?? /s

      from the article:

      Castner’s mother was in jail when she gave birth to her. She has not played a role in her daughter’s life since the day Castner’s father picked her up as a newborn from the prison, raising her as a single father, the outlet said.
