   The judge said she will benefit from ongoing treatment at a   
   Detroit area juvenile detention center and was not yet ready to   
   return to her mother   
      
   A judge on Monday refused to free a Michigan teenager who was   
   incarcerated in May after she allegedly violated probation by   
   failing to finish her online schoolwork, according to a report.   
      
   Judge Mary Ellen Brennan, the presiding judge of the Oakland   
   County Family Court Division, said the girl, identified as   
   Grace, will benefit from ongoing treatment at a Detroit area   
   juvenile detention center and was not yet ready to return to her   
   mother.   
      
   “I think you are exactly where you are supposed to be,” Brennan   
   told Grace, her middle name, according to the ProPublica report   
   on Monday. “You are blooming there, but there is more work to be   
   done.”   
      
   Grace was previously placed on probation after an alleged fight   
   with her mother and for thefts at school, the report said.   
   Police had been called to the family's home in the past. She has   
   been in custody at Children's Village juvenile detention center   
   for more than two months now after Brennan ruled she violated   
   her probation on May 14 -- because one of the terms was   
   completing her online coursework amid the coronavirus pandemic,   
   according to ProPublica last Tuesday.   
      
   Grace has ADHD, a learning disorder that she said caused her to   
   feel unmotivated and overwhelmed while online learning, the   
   report said.   
      
   “She was not detained because she didn’t turn her homework in,”   
   Brennan said during the hearing on Monday. “She was detained   
   because I found her to be a threat of harm to her mother based   
   on everything I knew.”   
      
   The case sparked several protests last week, with Michigan state   
   and federal lawmakers calling for Grace’s release. Hundreds of   
   Detroit-area students protested outside their high school   
   Thursday while holding "Free Grace" signs.   
      
   Caseworkers recommended Grace stay at Children's Village for   
   another three and a half months, arguing that she was now   
   behaving well and was engaged during the program, ProPublica   
   reported. “They have made significant progress,” court   
   caseworker, Ashley Bishop, said. “In speaking with mom, she   
   reports they have been able to communicate much better, [Grace)]   
   is more self-aware, she is more serious, she is more thoughtful.”   
      
   Meanwhile, Grace on Monday argued her good behavior meant she   
   was ready to go home: “I believe placement in my home with the   
   same, consistent therapy that I was getting beforehand, and love   
   and support that will always be around me, will be a benefit for   
   myself, my mom, my family, and my community."   
      
   The hearing on Monday came after Grace’s new attorney, Jonathan   
   Biernat, filed a motion last Thursday asking the court to review   
   the case and send her home, according to the report. Another   
   hearing is scheduled for September.
