A Shreveport mom pleads guilty to improper supervision after authorities learned she allowed her kids to play hooky from school. Caddo Parish Chief Deputy District Attorney Wilbert Pryor says 35 year old Fathimah Slack’s 13 and 14 year-old children missed over a year and a half of school.
“So they missed the entire 2017-2018 school year and all of this school year, until November 2018,” said Pryor.
Slack was arrested in November. Pryor says she was living a questionable lifestyle.
“Involved in drugs, not healthy lifestyle for kids, dragging them around from place to place, hotel to hotel, she was hanging around some bad areas of town, strip clubs,” said Pryor.
Slack was sentenced to 30 days behind bars, the maximum sentence for the crime, but received credit for time served and is now out of prison. Pryor says the children are in the custody of a family member and attending school, trying to catch up with their classmates.
“It makes them not want to go to school when you’re 13 or 14 and you are way behind on your level that you should be in,” said Pryor.
