Why is a 15-year-old girl being held in a juvenile detention center in Michigan? @Jodiscohen uncovered this story in a @propublica investigation and lays out the details in this thread 👇
Early this week, the county judge denied Grace’s release from the detention center.
Cohen describes this gut-wrenching moment:

When I answered the phone, the caller began by asking:
“Is there a ProPublica Michigan?”
She had a story to tell, about a teenage girl who was in juvenile detention for not doing her online schoolwork during the pandemic. The girl was her daughter.

(There’s no ProPublica Michigan, but I started looking into it anyway.)
A bit about the girl, Grace: she’s a HS sophomore. She’s been raised by her mother. She likes winter sports, road trips and composing music, her mother says. They appeared in a “Pure Michigan” tourism ad.

Grace is Black and lives in Oakland County, Michigan, a mostly white community and a county where a disproportionate percentage of Black youth are involved with the juvenile justice system. More on that later.
