Brickbat: Motherly Love

A St. Louis
County, Missouri, woman says she has been charged with trespassing
after responding to a call
from her son’s school to help calm the boy down. Niakea
Williams says a teacher at Walnut Groves Elementary School called
and said her son, who has Asperger’s syndrome, was panicking. She
rushed to the school, was buzzed in and went to her son’s
classroom. While she was consoling him, the principal came in to
tell her she’d violated school policy by not signing in. She
offered to sign in, but the principal said he’d already called the
police. Williams said cops hauled her out of the school in
handcuffs.
