I don't think this is a good one to use as agitprop. Read these facts from the perspective of someone who is sympathetic to the left, but who isn't all the way there yet:

Bible said the girl gave Beaver Falls police a fake name, Mae Wilson, and a fake birthday that indicated she was 18 years old. Although, she told officers several times she was a juvenile. Police told the girl they would release her to her parents, but she claimed she was homeless and from the Pittsburgh area.

"Beaver Falls police called Beaver County CYS when she disclosed she was from Pittsburgh. They contacted Allegheny County CYS to try to find any information on her, but since she gave a fake name, no one had any records of the individual,” Bible said.

Note that one big reason people give fake names upon arrest is that they know they are wanted for more serious crimes.

There are things to criticize here, but it's a bad example to push when there are a million other much clearer miscarriages of justice out there.

I'm a little bit worried about your own instincts if you dont think "a 13 year old was in a cage for two weeks" isnt viscerally upsetting to anyone whos "sympathetic to the left".

It is viscerally upsetting, especially for those charges. The problem with using it as agitprop is that anyone who reads the actual story is presented with a scenario that undercuts that feeling -- she lied about being an adult, then changed her story, and never provided a way of verifying her ID (parents' names, home address, a phone number, etc.). It comes across as a bait-and-switch.

There is no reason to push a story like that as agitprop when there are a million equally upsetting cases that have no such caveats.

This isn't the town square this isn't for optics this isn't for you. Rethink why you chose to make these comments and then please fuck off until you do serious self crit. She is a child for fuck sake.

Not to mention the missing child report. Dozens to hundreds of legal officers must have been interacting with her. I guess they didn’t case the search for the child net very far for some reason.

I don't think she saw "dozens to hundreds" of legal officers.

Probably a dozen cops and than one legal officer to rubber stamp their bullshit.
