That does not exist under your states laws. the so-called criminal responsibility for a school fight they couldnt stop is infuriating. its not even a law. of course your report contends that was just one instance in rutherford county, not far from nashville, by the way, where essentially you had a filter system where kids were held in detention in some cases on vague charges. and this juvenile court judge, donna scott davenport, in the job since 2000, had been recommending jail for cases sent to...

Disproportionate punishment? and how far up did the failure go? >> thank you so much for having me. yeah, you set it up really well. theres one thing i want to correct, which is that there was an 8-year-old involved in this. >> wow. >> an 8-year-old with pig tails was handcuffed, put in a police car, taken to the juvenile detention facility. yes, overseeing all of this was judge donna scott davenport, and it goes up incredibly high. we found in our reporting there were failures from the county a...

>> go ahead, finish your statement. >> thats one example. the other thing is that the state no longer produces any statistics around juvenile court, so that number you cited being ten times higher, right now we dont get any reports about juvenile court, so we have no idea what is happening in this state at all. >> now, i want to make sure that we give you judge davenports response to this accusation. as mentioned in your piece, at first she declined your interview request, to which you attached ...

Piece joins me now. i think everyone who saw this story rightful across twitter was shocked and appalled. thank you for coming and talking to us about it. how on earth this would happen where children are being routinely locked up by this judge? >> yeah, this is a story about one county with a staggering history of detaining children. like you said it all resulted from a mass arrest of 11 kids. it happened through a couple different mechanisms. the first part was decoloration, by the judge to la...

They use a filter system to give jailers discretion for jailers arrested sent to the juvenile defense center. 11 black children were arrested for witnessing, not participating but witnessing a fight between other children. just seeing it happen. which by the way, is not a crime. at least six of the kids were handcuffed, four of them at their elementary school. one girl fell to her knees as she was arrested. another threw up. police handcuffed the youngest, an 8-year-old with pigtails. four of th...

Inadequate and didnt happen, but these cluster of lawsuits allowed us to look into this world that is usually shut off from the public. in order to protect children. >> and this was a money making scheme in this county, my understanding. is they made quite a bit of money doing it and this judge, how in the world is she still seated and what is becoming of her? >> yeah, the money aspect is interesting. it is a little decoupled from the children at the top of the story. the fact of the matter is t...

In other words, the head jailer, she reports every month to the county commissioners who didnt ask questions about policy. they often likened the jail to a business, sometimes joking that it was like a hotel. the tennessee department of children services licenses juvenile jails and it inspected the jail every year and not once did it flag this illegal filter system. they really just remarked on the cleanliness of the facility or if it had graffiti or not. there were multiple layers from county a...

On her process for arresting children, basically arrest children, transport them to the detention center for screening, then file charging papers. in other words, every child arrested, even for minor things like truancy, were being taken to the juvenile detention center, the judge told law enforcement. the other part of this is davenport also footnoted countys head jailer who has been in power almost as long as the judge davenport since 2000, and she had her own screening process for children ca...

Exist in tennessee law. all 11 of the kids arrested for being jailed under a filter system. how does something like this happen in the first place? talk to me about that charge and sort of as you described the system and the various failings of the system, where, then, the oversight shouldve been. >> yeah. so the charge of criminal responsibility is not an actual charge. its a prosecutorial theory. in essence, someone can be charged with assault who is present during an assault, but they cant be...
