Hello everyone,
Welcome to week two of the 2014-2015
school year. It is my hope you all are posting and noting your perspective as
it relates to the topics of the week. Friendly
reminder blogs are due Sunday by midnight.
Have a great weekend!!!
On September 8, 2014 Renata
Congleton, 27, drove drunk to Trinity Elementary School in Florida to pick up a
child, however, staff reportedly noted she was extremely intoxicated. Hence, her
blood-alcohol was more than five times the legal limit, registering at .413. So
school officials did not allow the child to leave the premise with Renata so
she fled crashing into two vehicles before the police reported to the
scene. When police were finally able to apprehend
Renata she was at her residence sitting on the porch, it should be noted
she resisted by kicking and scratching the deputies.
1. What would you charge Renata with
and why?
I would charge Renata with endangerment to a child and assault to a police officer because she tried to drive an elementary student home while she was drunk, and she kicked and scratched deputies. I believe that the children are secure in school because the staff did not let the student leave with the parent or guardian do to the fact that she was intoxicated and posed a danger to a small child.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with Tony that Renata should be charged with assault. Not only was she drunk but did assault the deputies by kicking and scratching them. Like Tony said the child was much safer at school than going with her,she needs a better guardian.
DeleteI also agree with you Tony. The woman should be charged with assaulting an officer as well as driving while intoxicated. I can only imagine how much alcohol the woman must have consumed for it to affect the way she was thinking that much. This woman is clearly not a responsible parent and I would also look toward getting child protective services involved.
DeleteI agree with you Tony. She should be charged with endangering a child because who picks up their child from school, intoxicated. Who drinks this early when they know they have the responsibility.
DeleteIsaiah, I agree that she should be cautious driving in a school zone while intoxicated but she should be charged and sent to jail. She did cause a car accident and was resisting the arrest which makes her case even more strong. I just believe she should get more than probation. One should always be cautious any time they are behind the wheel for their own safety, but when driving recklessly in a school zone not only are you endangering yourself.
DeleteI disagree with Tony about charging her with child endangerment because the parent did not have the child with her while driving intoxicated. Maybe if the child was with her then yes of course I'll charge her with child endangerment . However I agree with Tony on charging the woman with assault to a police officer since she was scratching and kicking.
DeleteI agree with Tony. Even though the child wasn't in the car, she was in a school zone area & she was 5 times over the limit of DWI.
DeleteI agree with Tony, the school knows what they are doing they did right not letting the child go with the mother while she was intoxicated.
DeleteI agree with tony, the child was not in the car with Renata. Therefore, you cannot charge her with child endangerment since no child was involved in the accident.
DeleteI totally agree with Tony , Although the child was not in the car I would still charge her with child indangerment. Driving in a school zone period while more than five times the legal limit is rediculious.
DeleteI beleive that Reneta is in the wrong! FIrst off you cant drink and drive. IF your in school zone with children you have to be cautious. Her child should not b ein the car with her. SHe scrachted the police officer also she should get 2 years of probation.
ReplyDeleteIsaiah, I agree that she should be cautious driving in a school zone while intoxicated but she should be charged and sent to jail. She did cause a car accident and was resisting the arrest which makes her case even more strong. I just believe she should get more than probation.
DeleteI agree with Isaiah you should not be driving while intoxicated especially if your in a school zone. Because of the fact that there is children and you have to be driving cautiously for their safety.
DeleteI agree with Isaiah that Renata was in the wrong.She should have been cautious like Isaiah said when she was in the school zone. That child should never be with her in the car. She is a irresponsible adult which is a shame.
DeleteI am also with you Isaiah. One should always be cautious any time they are behind the wheel for their own safety, but when driving recklessly in a school zone not only are you endangering yourself but other people’s children as well. The woman should be charged with driving while intoxicated as well as the endangerment of children and the assault of an officer. In my opinion the woman should receive time behind bars.
DeleteIn my opinion Isaiah I think she should get way more that 2 years of probation because she did put her child in danger , assault a police officer , drinking while intoxicated and caused a wreck. She should get at least 5-10 years in prison because she did brake a lot of laws in such a short period of time.
DeleteI agree with Chambers that she should of cautious especially because it was a school zone.
DeleteI agree with you, Chambers. She should get probation for assaulting a police officer. I believe jail isn't needed, and all she needs is some help.
DeleteI agree with Isaiah not not only do they need two years of probation but some time of jail because she put the girl in danger
DeleteTony i beleieve you are right the smal children were in danger!
ReplyDeleteEndargerment to child is 6 years i dont beleive she should do that much.
ReplyDelete20B
ReplyDeleteI'll charge the women a class B felony for assault to a police officer. Also, another class B felony for endangering a child. the children were secure in school. The staff just save the children from a car accident. Hence, she was intoxicated. YBJ: five months in jail with no parole.
Yes roberto, I completely agree with you. She totally deserves 5 months in jail. B)
DeleteYes I agree with Roberto, she should at least get 5 months of jail.
DeleteI would charge Renata with Reckless Endangerment. She is obviously endagering herself & the other people around her by drinking & driving. The children in school are safe they prevented the child from being in the car accident with the mother when she sped off angry, she also kicked & scratched the officers, it could have been way worse and she could have tooken that out on her child, so i would charge her with assault on a officer also.

ReplyDeleteI would charge Renata with reckless endangering because she is putting her self and other people life's in danger. She seems like she doesn't care if she is willing to put a little girl in her car while she is intoxicated. She should know better she Is already old enough to know from right to wrong. The little girl is safe because teachers took control of the situation. Renata should pay for the damage she did to the cars she hit .
Sarai, I agree with you. She should know from right to wrong and should pay for what she did. She is old enough to know that driving while intoxicated can cause many consequences.
DeleteI completely agree with you Sarai. She is already a grown woman who should know what and what not to do. Unfortunately, Renata is not a very responsible mom; she has had no regards for anyone’s life, including her daughters. She seems incapable of looking after herself or her daughter.
DeleteI agree with you Sarai. She is grown enough to know better and not be careless enough to put her child in danger. She should learn how to be more responsible.
DeleteI agree with you, she should pay for the damages she inflicted on the other cars. And I would of charged her with assault on a peace officer aswell.
DeleteRenata should be charged with 1st degree felony for causing a car accident while intoxicated. Also she should be charged with Felony resisting for scratching and kicking the deputies, and charged with reckless endangerment for putting children and other adults in danger. She shouldn't pick up her daughter knowing that she's been drinking alcohol and risking innocent people's life.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alejandra she should be charged for assaulting the police officer's. Also for causing the accident as she fled the school.
DeleteI agree with Alejandra. She should be charged with a felony because she indeed scratched and kicked an officer of the law. Nobody should do that to an officer that helps the community.
DeleteYou are right Alejandra. In some cases I’d be cajoled to feel sympathy for mothers because I wouldn’t want to separate a mother from her child. However, Renata has proven that she has little to no regard for her child’s safety. Had she been mindful that driving while intoxicated was a bad idea, she probably wouldn’t have been in so much trouble. I do hope she gets the punishment she deserves.

DeleteI would charge Renaata with reckless endangerment. For putting herself and the other drivers in danger. She should also be given a DWI for driving with her blood alcohol level five times the legal limit. I would also charger for assaulting a police officer and for resisting arrest.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Eleazar. She should be charged with endangerment because she drove to school intoxicated. Therefore she put the life of the children in danger.
DeleteI'm with you on this one Eleazar. She was out of control! The good thing was that nothing really terrible happened or else her whole life would've been thrown away in prison.
DeleteI completely agree with you Eleazar. She should definitely be charged with endangerment. She also shouldn’t of resisted arrest.
DeleteI would charge Renata with assault towards and officer and endangerment to a child. The reason I would charge her like this is because she kicked and scratched the officer while she was being arrested. The reason I would charge her with endangerment to a child is because she tried to pick up the child from school and drive with her in the vehicle.
ReplyDeleteI super agree with that. Renata was five time intoxicated. She tried to beat up the police officer. Plus, she had an accident while drinking and driving.
DeleteI agree Renata could have caused someone to die and so she should not get off easily. It is a good thing the school made that judgement to not let the child to go with her.
Deletel would charge Renata with reckless endangerment and resisting arrest. She put her self and the other drivers in danger.She also kicked and scratched the officers when the tried to arrest her. - in care of Isaiah Rosas
ReplyDeleteI agree a with you Isaiah Rosas. If Renata took the kids with her, a huge car accident. Plus, chances are that the children would got hurt or worst.
DeleteI agree with you because what Renata did was very irresponsible and dangerous. I hope she learns from her mistakes.
DeleteI think I understand what you're trying to say with this very vivid picture of the crime you try to re-imagine with these words. I don't think there is anything wrong with your comment so I'm going to agree with you, for now.
DeleteI agree with you jorge. Renata cause a big accident during her intoxication. She also resisted her arrest and scratched the deputies.
DeleteIn my own perspective i would charge Renata with the misdemeanor of reckless endangerment because she created a substantial risk of hurting others out on the road.I would also charge Renata with a DUI driving under the influence since she was more than 5 times the legal limit. She shouldn't be driving in the first place and going out to pick up a child. Also she clearly isn't thinking straight and doesn't know what she is doing. Somebody does not just drive drunk in a school zone,luckily the school officials did not let the child leave. If the child would have gone with Renata it would have been a much bigger incident. Renata may have a drinking problem which may have caused this.
ReplyDeleteI agree that she shouldn't be driving under the influence while going to pick up her child. While being intoxicated, she isn't thinking clearly. She could have taken more lives not only her child's but more.
DeleteI am on your side here Ariana with the fact that she should be charged with "reckless endangerment," and the DUI. Let us not forget that she also resisted arrest and assaulted the police officers when they were at her residence.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Ariana. The school officials were smart to not allow the child inside the vehicle. Renata should learn her lesson after this.
DeleteI agree with Ariana, if the child would have left the incident would be much bigger. It says how after Renata left she crashed. Imagine if the school wouldn't have noticed Renata was drunk. The school would be in trouble and Renata would be in deeper trouble.
DeleteI agree with you Ariana. She was putting many people in danger on the road. You’re right she wasn’t thinking right. How can you drink knowing you’re going to have to pick up your child from school? It was a good thing the school didn’t let the child leave with Renata. It could have been much worst.
DeleteI agree with you, but I would of gave her a higher charge. Also, if she does have a drinking problem then they need to not let her see the child until she gets over it.
DeleteI think Renata should be charged with DUI, resisting arrest, reckless endangerment because what she did put many people in danger. The school did the right thing by not letting the child go with Renata as it could have put that child's life in danger. I think everyone involved was very lucky as Renata's blood alcohol level was 5 times the legal limit .
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Ashley. She is very lucky she didn't do anything worse or there would be some pretty big charges facing her. The school staff did a good job by not letting the child go with her.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Ashley, the school did the right thing by not letting the child go with her. I also agree with you on all the charges against her.
DeleteI would charge Renata with endangerment of a child, DUI, and aggravate assault towards police officers. I feel this is a completely reasonable punishment for what she has done. Because by being overly intoxicated not only did she endanger her own life but the life of others, specifically the life of the child she was going to pick up, earning her a DUI charge and the endangerment of a child. By continuing her reckless behavior she earned an aggravated assault charge, when she began to fight police officials violently. It is obvious that Renata was not in a well state of mind when committing this acts, but she must face the consequences of her actions.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Juanita, Renata was not in the right state of mind, and she should be punished for her actions. I also agree with the charges you are giving Renata they are reasonable, and they directly connect with what she did.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Juanita. Endangerment of a child, DUI, and aggravated assault is a very reasonable punishment for her. She was not thinking well, she was not in the right state of mind but she committed the crime and now she has to face the consequences.
DeleteYour so right Juanita, Renata has to take full responsibility for her actions. Hopefully she learns from her mistake and never does this again.
DeleteReneta should be charged by being heavily intoxicated, resisting arrest, assaulting officers and putting her child in danger. Being intoxicated while driving is a crime. She also did it during school hours putting other kids in danger. I agree with what the school did by keeping the child while police arrived. She should suffer the consequences of her reckless behavior that could have injured or killed others.
ReplyDeleteI would charge Renata with child endangerment, DUI, assault, and resisting arrest. Although the child she was picking up at school did not get in the vehicle with her she still was intoxicated in an Elementary School, so anyone was in danger at the time Renata was in the vehicle. DUI of course she was intoxicated while driving with a level of .413 which was more than five times the legal limit. Assault and resisting arrest came into play when the police officers came to Renata's residence and tried to apprehend her. As we read the blog we were told that she kicked and scratched the officers this brings assault to the case and along with it resisting arrest. In my opinion she should get 25 years in prison with the possibility of parole.
ReplyDeleteThat seems like a reasonable amount of prison time. I would also like for her to take classes to deal with her alcohol issues after her prison sentence is over. It was also a good call on charging her with resisting arrest because most would over look that and just charge her with DUI, endangerment of a child and assault of a police officer.
DeleteI agree that she should have parole... But only cause she needs to be there for the child ... And hopefully she gets her priorities straight and realizes what she can and cannot do.
DeleteOne should always be cautious when driving a vehicle and for no reason should anyone drive under the influence. Now to drive in a school zone while intoxicated is completely absurd. This woman in my opinion is incapable of caring for a child; it would only be outrageous to consider her a parent. This is why I strongly believe that not only should she be given time in prison for the charges of DWI, assaulting an officer, the endangerment of children in a school zone, reckless driving, and resisting arrest but she should also lose custody of the child to someone more responsible.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jose, she should lose custody over the child because she is an irresponsible parent. The child needs a better caring parent for him that wouldn't try to harm him in any way. The charges you've stated should also be applied. Renata wasn't thinking straight due to her alcoholic problems.
DeleteRenata should have known better than to drive while intoxicated. Any responsible mother knows not to endanger her child or the life of others by drinking and driving, especially in a school zone. In many states Renata could be charged with misdemeanor or felony resisting arrest. Hence, I would charge Renata Congleton with reckless driving, endangering a child, and resisting arrest.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Maddy, driving while intoxicated is very irresponsible. Renata put the lives of elementary students and school staff in danger. She could have easily hurt or killed anyone of them.

ReplyDeleteI would charge Renata with Child Endangerment, DWI and Assault on a Police Officer. I would charge Renata with Child Endangerment because she drove to an elementary school drunk, she could easily have killed a child or her own while trying to take her home. I would charge her with DWI, because she was driving while intoxicated. Last, I would charge Renata with Assault on a Police Officer because she resisted arrest by kicking and scratching deputies.
I agree with everything you said Jennifer. Luckily no children were hurt while Renata was driving under the influence.
DeleteI agree with you Jennifer. She put her life and others in danger as well as resisting arrest. Luckily everyone is okay.
DeleteI agree with you Jennifer, she could of hurt the students at the elementary school including her child.
DeleteI would charge Renata with resisting arrest, DUI, and reckless endangerment. She shouldn't have never been driving in the first place. She should also have her drivers license suspended for this and have 1 year of probation.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Juan. I'm sure we can all say she needs a lot of help. During her probation time I believe she should receive a lot of help so that she can overcome her drinking problem.
DeleteI would charge Renata with child endangerment and DWI and also assault to a police officer. Everyone knows that you shouldn’t even be drinking and driving. She was putting a lot of children in danger and herself as well. She also assaulted an officer by kicking and scratching while she was getting arrested. It’s a good thing the school officials didn’t let the child leave with Renata. It would have been worst for her if the child was in the car with her.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Karla. Of course it would of been more worse for her if she had her child in the car. And she shouldnt be able to drive intoxicated.
DeleteKarla really does have a point, I'm not sure if she was aware of her actions but I assume that this incident has effected her in some way.
DeleteI would charge Renata with child endangerment. She shouldn't have been intoxicated especially while driving and being in a school zone. She wasnt just endangering her child but other peoples children. She also crashed into two cars so i would appoint some fines for the damages. And finally i would charge her with assault to a police officer because she resisted arrest.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you Vanessa. She should also take some alcoholics awareness classes to deal with her alcohol trouble.
DeleteI agree with you Vanessa, she shouldn't of been in a school zone while intoxicated. Also she shouldn't of kicked and scratched the officers.
DeleteI would charge Renata with two to three years in jail. The reason for being a bit too easy on her is because she has children and it seems to me like she needs a lot of help for her alcohol problem. After she finishes her time in jail she should have an alcoholics anonymous class to help her with her addiction. I do agree she was at fault for all the things she did but when one is an addict there is no control.
ReplyDeleteI do not agree with you Crystal, she was under the influence at the time these crimes were commited, she was at fault and shuld take full responsibility for her actions. However, I do agree she should take counseling classes after her time in jail.
DeleteI do not fully agree with your opinion. She should be sentenced with more years that that. She was going to risk both the child's life and other drivers around her.
DeleteI would charge Renata with assualt on a police officer because she resisted arrest by kicking and scratching the police officers. I would also charge her with endangerment to a child because she went to school intoxicated and wanted to leave with her child. Lastly i would charge her with reckless driving and driving while intoxicated.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Luis, she shouldn't even have been in a school zone whether she knew she was intoxicated or not. Otherwise, a person that does day-time drinking probably needs to seek counseling as well.
DeleteI agree with you Luis, she should be charged with these crimes due to the fact they were all while she was intoxicated.
DeleteI agree with you Luis.Her child should also be taken away from her because she was driving drunk trying to pick him/her up.
DeleteI would charged her with DUI, endangerment of a child, assault on a police officer, some fines for hitting two cars, and resisting arrest. DUI for driving while drunk, endangerment of a child because even though her child wasn't in the car she was at a elementary school which could have resulted in a huge mess. Resisting arrest and assault come in play when she was being apprehended, in all I would give her 30 years of prison with a chance of parole and for her to take alcoholic awareness classes while serving her prison sentence.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Juancarlos, she could have harmed all of those children in that elementary school. She should have given up, and she should've complied with the police officers instead of resisting arrest. Renata was also being a reckless driver, so she should be fined for the mess she has caused.
DeleteI agree with you. She should get time in prison instead of just probation. While driving in a school zone, she managed to make a huge mess by crashing into two cars. She could have put more children in danger than just the child she was going to pick up. She managed to assault a police officer. She was so drunk that she didn’t even know what was happening. She needs to serve time in rehab as well.
DeleteI believe that Renata should be charged with 3-4 years in jail. Not only was she driving under the influence but was endangering her child and the others in the school zone. She was driving recklessly while damaging 2 vehicles and resisting the arrest of an officer. Imagine what could've happened if she had left with her child and continued being intoxicated, the outcome would've been worse than it is originally.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Renata should be charged with DUI and endangerment of a child. The reason for this is because she wanted to take her child while intoxicated. Renata was at a school and many kids were put at risk because she was drunk and was driving. She also hit two vehicles while going back home which she should be charged with reckless driving. Lastly, I would charge her for resisting arrest. The police officers tried to apprehend Renata, but she fought back unwilling to face her consequences.
ReplyDeleteI believe Renata should be charged with DWI, reckless driving, and assault on a police officer. I would sentence her to 3 to 4 years minimum in jail because of her actions. However, she could be charged with endangerment to a child, I would not charge her due to the fact that she never had the child under her care.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything you said Chris, but the endangerment of a child. What if she would've hit a child at her kids school? Her being drunk especially five times above the legal level is endangerment of anyone.
DeleteI would charge the women with endangerment to people and children. What was so emotional or stressing her out so bad that she had to drink that much? I would charge her with this because what if on her way to pick up her child she would've hit someone or hit a child while trying to pick up hers? I would also take her child away from her until she undergo rehabilitation classes for drinking. Then after she finishes that she would serve 6 months in jail for assault to an police officer.
ReplyDeleteThe child should be taking away from Renata. She is not in the right state of mind to be taking care of a child.
DeleteI agree with the both of you. She drunk so much she was five times over the limit! That child could be in danger with her at all times. She is not capable or responsible enough to be caring for her kid which is why I also believe she child should be removed from her custody. Thankfully the teachers were able to notice how intoxicated Renata was before taking the child.
DeleteI would charge Renata with Reckless Endangerment. She is obviously endagering herself & the other people around her by drinking & driving. The children in school are safe they prevented the child from being in the car accident with the mother when she sped off angry. No one don't know what would've happened to the little boy if he got in the car with her. I'm glad the staff stopped her from getting her child. She also kicked & scratched the officers, it could have been way worse and if could have took that out on her child, so I would charge her with assault on a officer also & Driving while intoxicated .
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you for the fact the nobody knows what would have happend if the child entered the vehicle.
DeleteI agree with you Bianca, Renata knew what she was doing. Anything could have happened and I am just glad school officials kept her child. I am also glad officers caught her and she didn't try to hurt any school officials for keeping her child.
DeleteI agree with you Bianca, the child could of gotten hurt if he/she got on the car. And who knows what could of happened to the child if she took her anger out on her child.
DeleteI agree with Bianca, she shouldn't have done what she did in the first place. She could have easily called a friend or a relative to pick up the child.
DeleteI agree with you Bianca, Renata did not only put her self in danger but put everyone around her in danger. I also agree that the children are safe at school because if the school staff did not make Renata leave without her child a helpless kid could've lost their life.
DeleteI would charge Renata with DWI and reckless driving. Renata was aware that she was driving intoxicated. She also knew that what she was doing is against the law. Renata should also be charged with an assault to an officer for kicking and scratching. I am glad school officials kept her child safe, because anything could have happened to him/her.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cyntera. Renata could of seriously injured someone while driving recklessly. Her alcohol level was too high for her to be behind the wheel which is why she should get charged with DWI. Renata was not cooperating with police during her arrest even then she could of injured a police while she was kicking and scratching. The police were in danger and were assaulted.
DeleteI also agree with you, she knew she was doing wrong by driving while intoxicated, I'm also glad that the teachers didn't let the little girl/ boy go with their mother, who knows what would of happened to the Innocent child.
DeleteI agree with you. Renata is an irresponsible adult and should be locked away for breaking so many laws. She knew that what she was doing was wrong. She put so many people as well as her in danger while driving intoxicated. The school staff did a good thing by keeping the child so she/he would not get hurt. She caused harm to an officer which is not acceptable.
DeleteI agree with you Cyntera, she knew that she drank way to much to be operating a vehicle especially around plenty of children. She could have easily avoided this situation but no she wanted to be a irresponsible parent.
DeleteI would charge the mother with not only attempting to put her own child's life in danger but also those that attended the school she had arrived at.... I would also give her 8 months in prison.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because of the state she was at the school. She should've thought before she decided to get drunk before she had to pick up her daughter.
DeleteI would charge Renata with child endangerment, assault to a police, and driving while intoxicated. Even though the child wasn’t with her she was still causing a huge danger to her child. If she would’ve picked her up who knows what would’ve happened to not only her but other innocent people who might have been driving during that time. I would charge her for assault to a police because she was resisting arrest by kicking and scratching the police officer.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Patricia, because even though she didn't pick her child up she still attempted to. I agree with the charge for assault to police, why would she try to hurt an officer when she knew what she did was wrong.
DeleteI agree with Patricia on all her chargers. I with Patricia saying that even though her child wasn't with her that she was endangering the other children, because she could have ran another child over. Many things could have gone wrong, but thankfully nothing did.
DeleteRenata should be charged with endangerment to children for recklessly driving intoxicated to a elementary school. No one in their right mind would something as ridiculous as this. Also, she should be charged with hit and run for damaging the two cars in the parking lot. Renata will also have to pay for the damages to the vehicles. The last charge should be resisting arrest when she was fighting against the officers at her porch.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jazmin because she should be picking her child up drunk. She is just not putting her life in risk. Renata is putting a lot of children's life in danger with her reckless driving.
DeleteI also agree with you & Jazmin. It's really dumb to go to a elementary school, intoxicated. She put many lives in danger.
DeleteI would charge Renate with Child Endangerment, even if the child wasn't with her she was at an elementary school and DWI, for drinking and driving in a school zone. For hitting two cars, and endangering the other drivers she should pay fines or more charges. Also, I would charge Renata for kicking and scratching the officers as they we're about to arrest her. If she would of just done what the officers told her to do, things would not of gotten worse. And after jail, Renata should be assigned to Alcoholic Awareness Classes for her drinking problem.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Miriam, I would also charge Renata with child endangerment. Even though the child was not with her she was at an elementary school and she could've hurt a kid or maybe a teacher.
DeleteI agree Miriam.She should pay the fees for the accidents and jail for kicking the officer.
DeleteRenata should be charger with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). Considering her alcohol level was five times over the limit while she was driving. Also, Renata should be charged with resisting arrest for not cooperating with the police. Last but not lease she should be charged with assault to a Police Officer since she was scratching and kicking.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you jasmine,because she had no right what so ever to react that way towards the police officers.
DeleteI would charge Renata with DWI. I would also charge her with child endangerment and assault to a police. She shouldn't of been drinking in the first place if she was going to pick up a elementary school kid. It is not right what she did if the people in the two vehicles she crashed had no injuries I would give her about 4 to 5 years in jail with no probation. She would have to pay for both vehicles damage. I'm just glad the child was Ok and nothing happened to him/her.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Cindy. Except I think you meant to say that you wouldn't give a chance of parole. I think Renata would need a chance of probation after getting out of jail just to make sure she is behaving. I also agree with her having to pay for all the damages made since she was recklessly driving.
DeleteI agree with you Cindy, because the woman should not have been drinking while driving.
DeleteFirst of all, I would charge Renata with driving while intoxicated. I would also make her go into a rehabilitation program for her drinking problems since the level of alcohol in her blood was five times over the limit. Secondly, I would charge her with child endangerment. Although the child was not in the vehicle with her she was in a school zone. Thirdly, I would charge her with resisting arrest and assault to a police officer since she kicked and scratched them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anaruth. I think her idea of rehabilitation program because Renata alcohol level was very high and she does need help. I also agree with her on charging Renata with child endangerment because she did put many children in danger.
DeleteI agree. Her being in the school zone while drunk made her a threat to herself and others. Also, her being 5x over the legal limit would place her in a rehab. Lastly, she assaulted the officer while resisting arrest and she should follow all these charges.
DeleteI agree that she should be in a rehab because she is not ok from her head and has drinking problems.Her drinking problems can cause damage to the child.
DeleteI agree with what you're saying Anaruth. I would would take it inconsideration about taking Renata to a rehab center because in my opinion she needs help if she's going to put her child in in danger. It's sad but some parents need to start realizing reality and that they have kids!
DeleteI also agree with Annaruth she should be charged and put in a program caused to a drinking problem. And furthermore, her alcohol problems almost caused an accident.
DeleteI agree with you Anna Ruth she should be charged as same as putting her in the program. Also, how to a better responsible parent.
DeleteI agree with you Anaruth. Renata was not thinking straight with all that alcohol in her system. She should get some help. As for your charges, they seem more than reasonable and fair. There's no doubt in mind about your punishments. Parents like her need to be punished so they can learn.
DeleteI would charge Renata with DWI as well as child endangerment and assault to a police. Child endangerment to a child because she went to pick up her child drunk to a elementary school. Luckily she didn't ram in to all the children that are car riders. Assault to a police because she was fighting and scratching the police officer. She is an irresponsible mother and I think CPS should be involved in this one as well because I don't think that child should suffer by having a mother that's alcoholic. So that's exactly what I would charge her with.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Israel because no one should get on the wheel drunk. Especially if they are going to pick up their child at school. No one should attack a police officer because they are here to help us. This lady was wrong and should go to jail for this.
DeleteI would charge Renata with endangerment, assault to a police officer, and also a DWI. I would charge Renata with endangerment because she is driving intoxicated and reckless, so she is endangering herself along with the citizens. I would also charge Renata with assault to an officer because she did assault him kicking him and scratching him. Finally, I would charge Rentata with a DWI because she is five times over the limit.
ReplyDeleteI agree. She was indeed a threat and also intended to assault the officer when they proceeded to arrest her.
DeleteI agree with you Anna, she needs to be in a rehabilitation for her problem. We could be wrong and she might not have a problem but the fact that she drove to pick up her child at his/her school shows she does have a problem with alcohol.
DeleteExactly, point proven. She Ming not have a problem but she did drive to an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL while INTOXICATED. That is a huge problem! She does need rehabilitation to control this behavior.
DeleteI would charge her with DUI and Assault to an Officer. She was 5x over the legal limit and she was still driving and potentially a threat to others. Afterwards, she resisted arrest and hit the officer.
ReplyDeleteI would charge her with DWI, child endangerment and assault to a police. Renata should of known better she is a woman alread and should know you cant pick up your child drunk from school thats just common sense.Second if you seen the teaches saw you where drunk why drive away just stay there to avoid more problems. Lastly you dont have ccommon sense you should never hit a cop.So I would give her 4-6 years in jail.
ReplyDeleteI would charge Renata with endangerment. Also i would charge her with assault. Because she attacked a police officer, and no one is supposed to do that because they are there to help. No one should be picking up their child drunk and driving. They are not even supposed to get on the road if they are drunk

ReplyDeleteI would charge Renata with child endangerment , driving while intoxicated , assault on a police officer and resisting arrest.Renata should have not put her child in danger by trying to pick her up at her school while she was drunk.I'm glad the teachers noticed and were responsible by not letting Renata's daughter get in the car with her.She's so ignorant that she resisted arrest by scratching and kicking the deputies like if she didn't do anything wrong.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with your charges Lizbeth. Renata should have taken wiser choices. She could of damaged property, and hurt innocent people. I believe that her restrain from being arrested made it even worse. I would sanction her for 2 years in jail with parole.
DeleteI also agree and believe she should of made better choice from the beginning when she brought the alcohol. I just would give her a total of 5 years with parole.
Delete-Cynthia Lopez
I agree with you, Tello. Renata should definitely be charged with endangering of a child, assaulting deputies, resisting arrest, and driving while intoxicated. Her irresponsabilities enabled serious consequences.
DeleteI would charge her for Endangerment to a child and for Assault to a Officer. And also charge her for driving five times regular speed limit. Also for driving without her five senses. As for charging her for resisting arrest.
ReplyDeleteRenata was very irresponsible with her actions. First of all, she shouldn't have been drinking and driving, and second of all she was endangering the safety of her child and others. Renata could have taken better choices and decisions, so now she wouldn't facing long-term consequences. I believe that she's probably going through some hard times,but that's not an excuse for her reckless actions. Her child should be taken away from her. Although the child needs his mother, she's only providing a bad example. I would sanction her to two years in jail with parole for endangering the public, and for assaulting the officers. Furthermore, I would make her go to rehab for about a year, so she could receive her child back to her safe hands.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Flor. She is endangering her child and her child shouldn't be put in that dangerous position. Her child should be with someone who is responsible. She should also be going to rehab for help as you stated. She can be released once she is ready to be a responsible parent. Her punishments seem fair to me. I totally agree with you.
DeleteRenata should get 3 years in jail for hiting and kicking a police officer. Not only that but driving while she was drunk. She should get 2 extra years for driving in school zone being intoxicated and picking up her kid being in those conditions. She should get 5 years total in jail not only for being insecure but for disrespecting herself , but other people too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Josue she should get some time for hitting and kicking the deputies. Some extra time for DWI and trying to pick her child up like that.
DeleteI would charge Renata with endangerment of a child and to the public because she created a substantial risk of hurting others out on the road.I would also charge Renata with a DWI driving while intoxicated since she was more than 5 times the legal limit. She should have never driven to a school zone drunk. Clearly she was not thinking straight and did not know what she was doing ,luckily the school officials did not let the child leave. If the child would have gone with Renata it would have been such a tragic. Renata deserves 5 - 7 months in jail as well as the responsibility of having to pay for both vehicles she ignorantly crashed into.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Erika she should be charged with all the wrong things she did at that moment. She put many other people in risk not just herself.
DeleteI agree with you Erika. Renata shouldn't have been in a school zone intoxicated. Although she went for her child, shoe could of taken wiser decisions. I believe that she should be sanctioned for more than 7 months in jail. I believe that she should also go to rehab.
DeleteYes I also agree noone should be intoxicated while driving specially not in a school zone.Renata should really be put in rehab because she is not ok from her head.
Delete-Cynthia Lopez
I believe that Renata should be charged with a DWI, because she should have not been drinking and driving. She should also be charged with assault to an officer, because of the way she reacted when being arrested.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you yulissa she shouldn't have been driving while intoxicated. People could have been hurt including the child if the staff let the child leave thankfully they didn't.
DeleteI would charge tenets for reckless drive. Also, while intoxicated while driving and not being a responsible parent for her child. She could of hurt her little boy if he got in the car or hurt a other student while school zone. Her little boy should get taken away from her.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Yessica. Out of everything, she decides to go pick up her child in her state of mind. She does not deserve custody of her child in this type of behavior.
DeleteI also agree the child should be taken away .No child should have a parent who is willing to put them in danger. Especially in the condition she was in the child could have got severely harmed, but of course good thing the school staff noticed.
DeleteI completely agree with you Yessica, it was very irresponsible for Renata to try and pick up her little boy fromantic school with her BAC being five times the legal limit. I also agree with her little boy getting taken away because if she's tried drinking and driving with him in the car once I believe she has done it plenty of times before.
DeleteWell, she was drinking and driving so I would charge her for that. She also was endangering a bunch of elementary kids so I'd charge her for that aswell. She crashed into two other vehicles so that's a big no no. But lastly I'd charge her for resisting arrest and assaulting the officers she bit and kicked, whoever it was.
ReplyDeleteI would charge her with DWI and also assault to an Officer. She was driving In a school zone way past the limit and hurted othes.She also hit the officer during the arrest.I would give her a total of 5 years in jail.I would also have her pay the damages to the 2 vehicles
ReplyDelete-Cynthia Lopez
I agree with you Jose that she should pay for both vehicles of the innocent bystanders. I also agree that she gets a dwi and assault to an officer. She should be in prison.
DeleteRenata should be charged with endangerment to a child,resisting arrest, hit and run, and assault on a officer. She was trying to put her child lives in danger. Also she crashed into more innocent people leaving the scene.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you juan on the charges that you have just announced because this person needs to think about she has done and needs to rethink how she is going to live her life with the child. She not only put her life in danger but also her child and the people around her
DeleteI agree with you Juan because all of the charges are correct due to the fact that she violated all those laws.
DeleteThis is such an embarrassing thing for the parent and the child. The parent ought to be ashamed of her self. She could have killed some one because she was intoxicated. I believe that the school officials did great in not letting the child go with the mother because that would have put the child in great danger. This is obviously a irresponsible person who should be punished. Would sentence her to 6 months in jail without parole and after to both an anger management class and rehab.

ReplyDeleteTenants should be charged with assault for kicking and scratching the deputies. Also, driving to an elementary school while intoxicated was not a very smart choice, but then again, when do intoxicated people think? Renata tried to pick up the child in these conditions and I do thank the school for doing a fantastic job of not giving up the child to her and for noticing her actions and behavior. She should also be charged with endangerment to a child and a couple of months in rehab to control her intoxication. She was not only endangering her life but the life of her child as well.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Zuleika. I really don't understand why she even thought of picking up her child. I'm glad the school didn't allow it but she put so many people in danger as well. Therefore, I totally agree for her to go into rehab to search for help. Especially if she plans on seeing the child again.
DeleteI would charge Renata Congleton with assault to a police officer, DUI, neglect of a child, drunk and reckless driving and resisting an officer with violence. Good thing the school staff did not allow the child to leave with Renata. She put so many people as well as her in danger while driving intoxicated. She should have been cautious driving around a school zone since there are many children there. Also causing harm to an officer is not right. She should go to prison for being a danger to society as well as the other reckless things she did.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely believe that Renata is in the wrong. First of all, what parent in there right mind would show up to a school drunk to pick up a child? The teachers had every right to keep the child with them. That's part if their job as a teacher to protect them from harm. They did their jobs correctly. She also hit other vehicles on her way home, and acted irrational and like a child to the police officers! That's just a shame, and I hope that this woman feels ashamed of her actions. I'd give her 2 years of probation and some counseling.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Jona, this woman needs some serious counseling. She could've caused more chaos if the school would've let her take the child. Total props to them for saving an innocent child from getting harmed.
DeleteI would charge Renata with Child Endangerment, DWI, and Assault to a police officer. Child Endangerment because she did not only put her child in danger but many other children as while.
ReplyDeleteDWI because Renata was operating a vehicle when her BAC was five times the legal limit. Assault to a police officer because when the deputies tried to arrest her she began kicking and scratching them.
I agree with you Mercedes , she is not at all a responsible individual and deserves to be charged with all of those things. Renata's child should probably be placed with a responsible adult and Renata should have to take some parenting classes.
DeleteRenata is obviously not a responsible parent. She decided to drink too much and then go pick up her child. She is putting many people's lives at risk. Although she didn't drive her child home, she still managed to crash into 2 vehicles. Then, she scratched and kicked the police officer. I believe Renata should be charged with endangerment of a child, assault on an officer, and with DWI. In addition to that, Renata should be given help by going to alcoholic classes if this isn't the first DWI she has. Her child is obviously not safe with her, so the child should stay with her father or other legal guardian meanwhile Renata is being helped. She should do about 3 years in jail.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion. The child is not safe with her in these moments of her life. She was putting her child's and other people’s life at risk. Renata could have caused a deadly accident
DeleteI don't see how anyone could think of getting away with picking up their child while intoxicated at the school. I don't know why she got so drunk in the first place. She needs to go to counseling if she's drinking her emotions out. I would charge her with indangerment of a child, dwi, assault on a peace officer, and resisting arrest. I would also write citations for the wreck she caused.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Ramiro why would she even think about going to the school and trying to get her child out while intoxicated.
DeleteI would charge Reneta with child endangerment. A parent caring for a child has to be responsible to ensure that child is free from unreasonably dangerous situations. She did the complete opposite because even if she did not have the child with her she was in an area of school zone which by the way was not only putting her child in danger but other children as well . Thankfully the school staff noticed she was under the influence. Safety of children comes first. Also I would charge her with DWI or "driving while intoxicated,", Because she was found operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol which she was extremely intoxicated that her blood alcohol was more than five times the legal limit. Finally assault to a officer because of the way she was resisting .
ReplyDeleteI would charge Renata with driving while intoxicated, assault on a peace officer, failure to stop and provide aide, and endangerment to innocent bystanders. I will also like to consider giving her rehab so she can get special treatment. She probably wasn't thinking straight when this occurred and maybe she just needs help. She committed the crime now she has to do the time.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Angelica, and because Renata wasn't thinking straight many people got caught in trouble that could have easily been avoided.
DeleteI would charge Renata with DWI, assault to a police officer, reckless driving, and endangerment to a child. Renata deserves these charges because she put lives in danger while on the road. The child's life could also have been put in danger if staff would have let the child out.
ReplyDeleteI would charge Renata with child endangerment , driving while intoxicated , reckless driving and assalting a public servent. What Renata did was wrong and there is no excuse for it. Drunk driving is wrong and so many people loose their lives to this every year. I have no sympathy for people that do this. My sanction for Renata would be 4 years in jail.
ReplyDeletePersonally I would charge the woman depending on the damage she caused and if she injured anyone around her. Most precisely I would charge her with at least 15years in prison with the possibility of parole ,along with some type of alcohol help or in other words rehab. She is a mother she should know better than to drink and drive and specially to pick up her daughter
ReplyDeleteI agree with Julia the woman obviously needs help if she tried to pick up her child while intoxicated.
Delete-Jasper Yes you are right Bobby, she does needs help if she wants to pick her child from school.
DeleteI would charge Reneta with driving while intoxicated and, resisting arrest. I do not think there is any reason for Reneta to get of easy if she is willing to endanger a child. Reneta should also be charged with endangerment of a child.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Bobby. I also believe Renata should be charged with driving while intoxicated, resisting arrest, and endangerment of a child because she did assault police officers, drive drunk, and almost put a child's life in danger.
DeleteI would charge renata with assault she tried to drive an elementary student home while she was drunk. Also the fact she was drinking and driving is another crime. It is very irresponsible for a guardian to do to a child.
ReplyDeleteI would charge her with assault because she scratched & kicked the deputies. Also with DWI which is driving while intoxicated. I would give her at least 2 years of jail and probation afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Daniel I would also gibe her jail and probation.
Delete-Jasper I agree with Daniel, she should be sent to jail for 2 years and given probation.
DeleteI would charge Renata with assault because she faught back a police officer. She would also be charge with reckless endargement because she knew better then to drive to school to pick up her daughter while she was drunk.
ReplyDeleteI would charge Renata with endangerment to a child because she could have put the child's life in danger. Also, I would charge her with assault of an officer because she did try to fight back.
ReplyDeleteWhat could Renata possibly be thinking by trying to go pick up a child while intoxicated? We're not sure why she was intoxicated or if she was having any problems but what we do know is that a child's life could have been at risk. Therefore, I would charge Renata with child endangerment. Also, I would charge her with assault because she did resist by kicking and scratching the officers.
ReplyDeleteI will charge her with endangerment to the kid's because she was drunk and driving while intoxicated.
