8 Year old boy suspended for 2 days after "pulling knife" on classmate

[Ciara]

This is scary...knife crime is so rampant here right now. There have been sooo many teens stabbed to death here this year. Its just shocking that an 8 year old would bring a knife to school.

Im gonna be honest, this one did not shock me and that is so very sad. Its happening more and more. I hope my son never does something like that.

I agree with his suspension. Maybe some anger management should be included in his punishment.

I wonder what kind of knife it was. Meat cleaver? Pocketknife? Butter knife? It's not good regardless but I'm still curious.

(Meat cleaver. :crazy:
Not to make fun of a serious situation but that cracked me up.)
OMG I found this pic with the article.
That's a big knife.

Two days suspension?? What about transfer to one of THOSE schools for insane kids???? I wouldn't let one of my kids stay in his school.

I don't agree. It should be WAY longer than 2 days.

That's the thing - that's just a file photo (it says) and file photo just means it was lying around the newspaper.

For all we know, he bought a plastic butter knife.

I agree with the suspension, deanws.
I don't agree with the school only giving him 2 days. He should be punished for a longer period of time.

BTW-- If this kid is pulling a big knife out at elementary school, what will he be like in high school?

No telling. Pretty scary!
