This whole article is full of bias and is yellow journalism at its worst. The first paragraph reads as if the deputy (NOT POLICE) arrested this woman and left the kids alone. Not true, if you read further. An adult male was left in charge after the officer says the illegal immigrant gave permission (nodded her head) after the teenage daughter asked if this was O.K. He checked to see if the adult male had a cell phone - and someone to call. On July 9th, over three weeks after the arrest, the woman is interviewed by the Justice Center and Cas de Maryland and disputes this. Why are these groups in Alamance county?
I guess after an arrest the officer is required to write up a warrant and the circumstances about the arrest. He had to be pretty quick to come up with all his "lies" when HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE CHILDREN WERE LEFT ALONE. No complaint has yet been filed. I guess the author felt too pressed for a deadline to even try to interview the deputy. Or perhaps question why he would lie on a filed arrest report that is a legal document. Perhaps the arrest report could be shown, but that would that might mess up the bias of this story.
Sometimes it takes articles like this to remind me why I never buy a newspaper. Supporting this type of journalism is against my ethics.
