City isn't effin around. haul this kid off and lock him away for free speech. what a bunch of communists

add requires a therapist now?

Threatening speech isn't free. We don't have true free speech.

What is the school suppose to do? If they do nothing, then they take shit for not recognizing the issue soon enough when kids go fucking ape shit. If they go overboard cautious, then they take shit for going overboard. They are fucked either way.

I'm confused. The school says he wasnt deemed a threat and sent back to class but then after they decided to have him arrested?

I'm sorry, I think this is total BS. I understand the reasoning Trip gave, but all the authorities had to do was talk to his therapist to find out that this was what he was told to do instead of disrupting class or attacking the teacher physically. He was actually doing as he was told. If they are so stupid as to arrest this child, why dont they arrest the therapist for telling him to do it in the first place?

What kid at some point hasn't wanted or fantazied about something bad happening to an adult, be it teacher or parent? Or told their parents they wish they were dead or some crap?

Teacher could of protested their decision he was not a threat and wanted the cops involved. Only reason I can think of why they changed their minds. That would of forced the schools hand to turn the kid in.

It's a fucked up story.

The thread title is also fucked up, misleading and wrong.

I hate the fact that a child was arrested for such a silly non-issue but he never went to prison, and it looks like he never even went to jail.

Cant see the video...can someone please provide a quick summary?

Kid drew a picture of himself shooting the teachers of the school. Cops eventually came got the kid even after ruling that the kid wasn't a threat.

That catch is, kid was previously diagnosed with ADHD.

Therapist tells him to draw out feelings rather than disrupt class.

Kids follows therapist recommendations, and is throwing drawing away when teacher intercepts it.
