Mercedes School - Is She Taking These Shoes?

Mercedes said she had stolen the shoes because her mother needed money. She wanted to get enough money so her mother could get a drug test and hopefully show the state that she was clean. The other girls were moved, but they did not exactly forgive mercedes. And they just wanted assurances that they could trust her going forward. If this process had not taken place, Mercedes says she would have been on the road to suspension or even expulsion.
