Mother Outraged: School Calls Police on 9-Year-Old for Alleged Abandonment
A recent incident at a local school has ignited a firestorm of controversy, with a mother, Jazz Monique, publicly expressing her profound outrage after police were called on her 9-year-old son, who was then accused of abandonment. The distressing event, which transpired on October 7, 2025, has raised critical questions about school communication protocols, staff competency, and the handling of children in after-school programs. Ms. Monique, a dedicated nurse working 12-hour shifts, meticulously arranged for her son to attend a paid after-school program until 5:45 PM daily, ensuring he received adequate care and homework assistance. However, on the day of the incident, her son was inexplicably held in the school's front office starting at 2:00 PM, rather than being directed to his scheduled after-school activities. "They got him mixed up with another student whom they said they have to constantly call the parents to come get the kid. Can't be talking about my kid. I'm obsessed with them," she stated, emphasizing her son's good behavior and her consistent involvement. The situation escalated dramatically when, at 3:40 PM, Ms. Monique received a call not from the school, but from the police, informing her that her son was considered "abandoned." She recounted the officer's surprise that she answered on the first ring, which she found deeply concerning, as it implied no prior attempts by the school to reach her. "No one called me. Actually, they called the police and said that I abandoned my child," Ms. Monique asserted, highlighting that the school possessed multiple contact numbers for her and her husband, including a landline. Ms. Monique plans to confront the school administration directly, with her attorney present, to demand a thorough explanation and accountability. She criticized the school's "lack of communication" and apparent absence of a clear "protocol in place" for such situations. Furthermore, she alluded to potential racial bias, stating, "If he was a little white boy, that white woman wouldn't have called the police on a little white boy, but because he was a little black boy, she felt entitled." This incident underscores broader societal concerns regarding the treatment of children, particularly Black children, within institutional settings. The mother's determined stance seeks not only justice for her son but also systemic changes to prevent similar distressing experiences for other families.
