Judge Naman Yells At Mother

Parents who don't send their kids to school had to answer to a judge.

Forty families are on the truancy docket at Mobile's Government Plaza. Many of their children have missed dozens of unexcused days from school and juvenile Judge Edmond Naman wants to know why.

Judge Naman went off after hearing that not only did Kaler Terrell's 1st grader miss too many days, this was his first year ever enrolled in school. Now, the 8-year old will have to repeat 1st grade! (Check out the video to hear what Naman said to the mother)

Terrell has reportedly been homeless and has some mental health issues that the court discovered after the outburst. Naman sentences Terrell to 2 years of probation and says he's embarrassed and didn't mean to fuss at her. He just wished that the court had known about her case sooner. "When we dug deeper and had people talk to her, we're gonna be able to address it but it was just really shocking to me and I reacted humanly. I'll try not to do that in the future."

13 other parents didn't even bother to show up for court. Warrants have been issued for arrests.
