Homeless woman prosecuted for enrolling son in Conn. school

it is amazing to me on 2 points:

1. what address should homeless person use? "Planet Earth"? Or the most recent bridge s/he slept under?

2. public education is guaranteed. Why it is a "theft" then? Did her son got more of public education then he was entitled to? Does it mean there are different levels/amounts of public education one is entitled to based on the address one is registered at? "Address of registration" - reminds me about Russia's key notion of "propiska". The "propiska" address determines everything in Russia - school, medical clinic, jobs available....

I am flabbergasted.
