In April 2016, 11 Black schoolchildren, some as young as 8 years old, were arrested in Rutherford County, Tenn. The reason? They didn\u2019t stop a fight between some other kids. \n\nWhat happened in the wake of those arrests would expose a juvenile justice system that was playing by its own rules. For years, this county had arrested and illegally jailed hundreds, maybe thousands, of children. Why was this happening \u2013 and what would it take to stop it? \n\nFrom Serial Productions and The New York Times, in partnership with ProPublica and Nashville Public Radio, \u201cThe Kids of Rutherford County\u201d is hosted by Meribah Knight, a Peabody Award-winning reporter based in the South. The full four-part series is out now.
