Texan asked her child to walk home

Heather Wallace, of suburban Texas, asked her child to walk half a mile to their home. For this she was arrested, then pressured to plead guilty to "endangering a child". Eventually Texas decided it was ok to let the child walk, but the guilty plea has taken away her career and tied her up in mandatory lying.

It is horrible to force someone to apologize for something that was not wrong. A group of bullies tried to do that to me. Fortunately, they did not have the power to imprison me, so I stood up to them and did not apologize except for certain things that I really felt it would be better not to have done.
