My6-year-old son and I were recently left homelessafter I was laid off from my job and my house was taken by the bank.I enrolled my son in a nearby elementary school when school started in the fall. I used the address where I lived last, because I don’t havea current address.The school district discoveredthatI wasn’t living at that address and charged me with fraud. I was arrested yesterday and haven’t yet been to court. My son was placed in the care of protective services.I just want to get out of jail as soon as possible to reunite with my son. I have some questions, and I was hoping you could do some research to find the answers for me.Will this be charged as a misdemeanor orafelony?Do you think I really need an attorney? After all, I am guilty, and I can’t afford one. I also don’t have any money for bail. Are there any options that would allow me to be released from custody prior to trial and that would not require money?Write a 1,050- to 1400-word letter to your friend answering your friend’s questions.Citeand reference the assigned text and at least one other scholarly and reliable source in your letter.
