A County Superior Court Judge in Georgia has seen her stern but inspiring lecture to some delinquent kids go viral. Judge Verda Colvin said she didn’t know a camera was rolling as she lectured the group of boys and girls on doing better. “Stop acting like you’re trash,” she lashes them. Colvin, the mother of a grown son, volunteers with the Bibb County Sheriff’s “Consider the Consequences” class, a program that bluntly shows youth where their early lives in crime are likely headed. On March 29, Judge Colvin was speaking to some wayward kids in the program who were brought into her courtroom. Her passionate lecture about the harsh realities of their futures if they didn’t change clearly touched many of them. Many were in tears Their choices, she said, jail, or “you can be in this body bag,” Colvin says in the video as she unfolded a white body bag. “And the only way somebody’s going to know you’re in here is because of this tag.”
