Boys arrested for stick figure drawings

[MrCoffee]

how can the parents be blamed when (and I'm assuming) these drawing were made in school? I did the same crap when I was a kid.

I agree that the parents should punish them, NOW that they know their kids drew something that violent. and the school should take some action because it is their job to protect every student and ensure a safe learning environment.

Next thing you know kids will be arrested for vandalism just for spitting on the soccer field!

^i agree..arresting 10 year old kids was pretty overboard..the parents and the school shoudl've taken action and it shoud've been left at that..maybe a little counceling of something

you are kidding right? [Ed.] ( http://maddox.xmission.com/nohippies.html ) before i stab you in the eye with a soldering iron! this is why i hate people, they take things to seriously. Its just a damn drawing. i use to draw pictures of godzilla destroying a city, does that mean i am going to create a godzilla to have a nice romp in the park? hell know thats crazy talk! i cant make a godzilla [Ed.].

T-Punk, no need for personal attacks. That's what generally causes these threads to go downhill and eventually get locked (which is why I edited your post above).

But that said, I completely agree with T-Punk. Political correctness is a plague. During the last decade it has become unacceptable to this PC society we live in to be a boy. There is an ongoing effort to passify our children. Suddenly if you behave like a completely normal male child, you have ADD or ADHD and they slap you on Rittalin to "correct" your behavior.

Boys can be violent, and they think violent thoughts. Drawing is an outlet for children to release their emotions, whether negative or positive. Don't you remember when you were a kid? For god's sake, you didn't play little Ms. Tea Party and draw pictures of fireflys frolicking in the fields, did you?

I sure as hell didn't. When I was 10 years old it was 1986, and my brother and I were infatuated with Ninjas. You know, those Japanese warriors who chucked throwing stars through peoples skulls and lobbed off heads with ease. We grew up with horror movies like Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street.

Males are genetically aggressive! We learn to control our aggression as we grow older, and that's part of childhood. Taking away a 10 year old boy in handcuffs for drawing a violent picture is pathetic.

Wow...how old are you, and you're using gay as a deroggatory term. That's kinda sad.

Boys will be boys. I don't encourage over butchness of children, because that leads to pompous overbearing men, and I hate that.

You get a boy to respect others and grow up "Being a boy", as some would call it, and that's fine. I was a huge Power Rangers freak in the day, and when all the teachers tried getting it banned or being violent, I still think that's stupid.

Well, I did keep the parts I personally found to be amusing, such as the soldering iron comment. ;)

If it was a male teacher who called the cops, the first thing i would think was "that guy must lock the cawk".

Wow, they were charged with a felony? And they were 10 years old?

Wow, the US government just loves ruining people's lives.

Maybe by the year 2010 their will be enough homeless and jobless people due to nonsense charges that we can finally start another civil war.

Could it be that you are offended by the usage of the word... Gay?
