No good deed goes unpunished

Once upon a time a little boy was dropped for school. He goes into his first grade class room. He tells his teacher that he is going to the cafeteria. She lets him leave the room. The little boy doesn't go to the cafeteria. He leaves the school.

A lady named Laurinda Drake was picking up her son for the day from school (at 9:00am...so maybe he was sick or had an appointment). This school is in Nevada and close to desert landscaping. She sees a little boy walking down the road. She offers him a ride home and guess what, boys and girls? He doesn't know his address. She takes him back to her home and calls the school. She asks the school if they are missing any children.

"No," the school replied. "Really?" she questions, "Because I have one of your students that was walking down the road alone." Or something like that...

In the meantime the school had called the mother to tell her that her child was not at the school. The mother rushes to the school and is told that Ms. Drake has her son, but that they cannot give her Ms. Drake's number even though they have it. Confidentiality, you see.

Ms. Drake told the school she would bring him back to the school....but then decided she would take him to the superintendant's office because she did not believe that school to be a safe place. They didn't know he was even missing though the teacher knew he had been at school. He walked out the door. Alone. No one stopped him.

Ms. Drake took the boy to the superintendant's office where she is questioned by the police and arrested for first degree kidnapping.

Your tax dollars at work, boys and girls... She protected the boy. She took him to a safe place after she blasted the school with their lack of concern over the security of the children placed in their care...and SHE is the one prosecuted.

Doesn't that beat all? This is why society doesn't step in to help when they see something is wrong. There is such a large chance of punishment.

No good deed goes unpunished...and now Ms. Drake is on trial.

As the little boy's mother...Mama would be angry, too. However Mama would be angry with those that should have known he was missing before hand. Mama would be very thankful to get her little boy back in one piece from the woman that kept him safe seeing as how he didn't know where he lived.

The mother did not allow her child to return to that school, but she did testify against Ms. Drake.

Mama learned about this by watching Ashleigh Banfield.

UPDATE: Mama just saw that on TruTV that Ms. Drake was acquitted of her charges!
