The land of the free.....
and the home of the downtrodden. Man, America is turning into a scary place. As disgusting as those pictures sound, arresting the kids? Besides, how can they tell who is who from stick figures? __________________

This country is slowly going down the drain because people have become so jumpy over non issues. It's kind of funny that we're trying to give another country freedom while we're slowly losing ours.

They can charge kids who are only 9 and 10 in the USA? (here in Canada you have to be 12 to be charged with anything including murder)
I think a visit to the shrink or a some counselling would be more appropriate than charging them. |

No offense...really...but it is a special ed class so maybe they didn't know what they were doing?
 I mean...it's just stick figures. I used to draw stick figures and put the names of people i don't like on it....well...except my drawings didnt show anything morbid. I'm surprised though...two kids...9 and 10. Where do they learn this? Friday the 13th? |

This almost seems like it's becoming a trend to handcuff and arrest elementary students, which is sad.

Why are they so obsessed with handcuffing children? Why?! Did the kids threaten the officers? They drew pictures. I think I'll rethink my trip to America and go elsewhere.

Um, hello? They are in a special education class! Do they really know what they are doing is wrong?

Yes, That's my new favorite to!! These kids are in special education class. It sounds like they might need therapy ... but not to be hauled off and handcuffed in the middle of class. Special Education? I'm wondering if this class is for Mentally challenged? Or just not so bright (R.S.P Classes). |
