Why is this shocking to you?

They called the police for violent behavior.  No doubt CPS was involved - or WILL BE involved.  If the kid continues on this route of destructive (and self-destructive) behavior and if the parents continue to enable and/or ignore these issues she will either drop out (I've seen it happen many, many times) or CPS will do an investigation. It's our legal duty to report cases of abuse.  [/quote]

She does not sound like an abuse or neglect case.  She sounds like she has a behavioral issue, not a malicious parent.  I don't know why it is so obvious, or why you think they are enabling/ignoring.  They are probably struggling very much to cope with this, and if they say anything that sounds like an excuse, it is most likely that they are feeling defensive about this and upset about her being thrown into a cell.

I did not think the police action was racially motivated.  But now I am starting to think that some of the DCUM interpretations are.  If she was a white girl in the McLean school pyramid, we would not be discussing CPS.  We would not be discussing how the parents may "continue to enable and/or ignore" these issues.  And we would not be invoking our legal duties.[/quote]
