Obviously the cops and prosecutors are real shitheads here, but I think some blame goes to a piece of shit principal who woukd call the police on an 11 year old.

The DA and Principal are likely related, same last name. I'd bet this isn't the only incident between these two, with the principal setting up the targets and the DA knocking them down.

She also apparently called CPS on a different mother for questioning her special education program.

None of them should have any kind of power over others. If we ever manage to fix this system despite the dipshits that are trying to break it further, whether system comes next should have a specific focus on preventing people like this from getting power or keeping it if they manage to hide themselves until after they've gained power.

And also the stupid law that allows charges against children. Our system of kids under 14 not being "strafmündig" (criminally responsible) is often criticized and has other issues sometimes but at least it prevents shit like this
