Jailed: Tracy McDowell pleaded guilty to fraudulently enrolling her six-year-old son in the wrong school district and has been sentenced to five years in prison Homeless mother who sent six-year-old son to better school in the wrong town jailed for five years. She also has other charges that are drug related that she should pay for but not because she was trying to give her child a better education. Please help this woman get those charges for enrolling her son in the wrong district dropped. This is an injustice not only because the are homeless but also because this family was not receiving the help the authorities were supposed to be giving them so that they could re-establish themselves in this unjust society. Here is the website for the full whole story: http://4yous.info/homeless-mother-tanya-mcdowell-who-sent-son-6-to-better-school-in-wrong-town-jailed-for-five-years/ Please, as I said before, she should pay for the drugs she was selling but not for trying to better her child's future. I do not personally know this woman but think this is a cruel punishment. Thank you!!

The petition reached a threshold that warrants a formal review by the district attorney office. Legal counsel is finalizing a letter to present these findings to the sentencing judge.

This is absolutely outrageous!!! A mom wants better education for her child, so you take the mother from the child and jail her? Shame!!!

How can you lock a mother away for wanting her kid to have a chance at school? This is sick. Schools should be open to all kids regardless of where they sleep at night.

5 years?? For school?? Thats ridiculous. They should be helping her find a home not throwing her in a cell.
