Arrested by Kamala: A Black Mother's Story

Filmmaker Joel Gilbert interviewed Cheree Peoples, a mother prosecuted by Kamala Harris over her daughter's school truancy.
As Attorney General of California, Harris led a crackdown on school attendance, making it a criminal misdemeanor - punishable by up to a year in jail - for parents whose children missed at least 10 percent of school days.
In "Arrested by Kamala: A Black Mother's Story," Peoples tells the story of how she spent two years on trial for having a daughter in the hospital with sickle cell anemia.
CHEREE PEOPLES: If black lives matter to her, why didn't I matter?
KAMALA HARRIS AS CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL: Because of truancy, California public schools lose $1.4 billion per year in funding.
SHAYLA PEOPLES: I don't agree with what Kamala Harris did to my mom.
KAMALA HARRIS: I decided I was going to start prosecuting parents for truancy.
SHAYLA PEOPLES: I spend the majority of my time here at the hospital.
CHEREE PEOPLES: When Kamala Harris was the California Attorney General, she had me arrested and prosecuted because my handicapped daughter was sick, in the hospital, and had missed some days of school.
SHAYLA PEOPLES: I have sickle-cell anemia, a hereditary disease that is very, very painful.
CHEREE PEOPLES: In 2012, like all parents, I received a threatening letter from California Attorney General Kamala Harris saying I'll go to jail for a year if our kids missed 10% of school days. Little did I know, there was a warrant out for my arrest. All of a sudden the police are outside my house, banging on the door. They told me I was under arrest for my child missing school. I was shocked.
I said, "But my baby is sick, the school knows that!" And they said, "Go talk to Kamala Harris, place your hands behind your back."
SHAYLA PEOPLES: My mom did nothing wrong, we did everything we were supposed to. I was always bringing doctor's notes and calling the school to let them know that I was in the hospital.
CHEREE PEOPLES: But my hell was just beginning. They gave me two charges. I spent the next two years in court fighting these charges.
KAMALA HARRIS: My homicide prosecutors, my gang prosecutors, and I said, "When you go over there, look really mean." Ha! CHEREE PEOPLES: All the time I had to spend going to court, I was struggling to care for my child.
I lost my job and couldn't pay rent, and we got evicted. I became homeless, we had to move into a motel.
SHAYLA PEOPLES: And I ended up being in the hospital a lot during her trial. And that hospital stay was when I had my stroke.
CHEREE PEOPLES: Look, I am not a political person, but I want people to know what Kamala Harris did to me. if she did it to me, she will abuse anyone if you give her the power.
