Black children were jailed for a crime that doesn’t exist

> accused of failing to stop the fight

This accusation sounds absurd. How is it the responsibility of the bystanders to stop the fight?

I know that part three details how people ended up in this situation. It is still very absurd.

Are there other reporting on this story? I read about halfway through and it is just unreal.

I thought the HN title meant the purported jailing did not "exist". You might want to substitute in "Nonexistent Crime" for "Crime Doesn't Exist".
