DETROIT (WKZO) — Detroit lawmaker Stephanie Chang is proposing legislation that would require that parents who homeschool their children be regulated and periodically inspected, for the sake of the children.
It’s in reaction to the case of Mitchelle Blair, who claimed she was homeschooling two children, after investigators claim she had actually murdered them and stuffed them into a freezer.
Already some parents are speaking out against the legislation as a privacy violation and a “knee-jerk” reaction. .
Authorities are investigating a suspected jailhouse fight involving Mitchelle Blair and her cellmate in the Wayne County Jail.
Blair has been charged with murder and torture in the deaths of her children Stoni Blair and Stephen Berry.
She will undergo a mental examination to determine if she is competent to stand trial.
