Five years in prison for homeless mom that sent her child to school

Apparently she sent him to the "wrong" school, which was the school she thought would give her child the best education. She had no home so there wasn't an address she could say the child lived at. But instead of accepting a child with a parent motivated to give their child an education her homelessness was criminalized and she was found guilty of stealing a free education.

I'm sure her melanin composition had nothing to do with it. /snark

A mother who pleaded guilty to fraudulently enrolling her six-year-old son in the wrong school district has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Tonya McDowell sent her son to an elementary school in Norwalk, Connecticut, instead of her home city of Bridgeport.

The 34-year-old, who was homeless when she was charged with felony larceny last year, said she wanted the best education possible for the boy.

Again I wonder if she had no home how was she sending the child to the wrong district?
