"A Mississippi 10-year-old has been sentenced to three months' probation for urinating behind his mother's car. But the boy's mother is refusing to sign his probation agreement, citing the stringency of the agreement's terms.

"It's just a regular probation. I thought it was something informed for a juvenile. But it's the same terms an adult criminal would have," Carlos Moore, the family's attorney, told the Associated Press on Tuesday. "We cannot in good conscience accept a probation agreement that treats a 10-year-old child as a criminal.""

"The fact that police—and prosecutors—responded so aggressively to a completely nonviolent child has led Moore to suggest that racial bias has played a role in the boy's case."

I did have that immediate thought, that they probably wouldn't have done it, if he was white. #CriminalJustice
