I'm not a big fan of the ADD label. Personally I think teachers should make lessons more interesting and parents should be more involved with their kids.
Too many parents these days are not parents they want to be 'friends' with their kids. I'm not talking about Victorian era beatings but teaching them common sense, responsibility and respect.
As for the cops, just stupid comes to mind.

"third degree misdemeanor, interfering with staff and students at an educational facility"
Since when was drawing a picture interfering with staff at an educational facility?
There must be more to this story. The cops don't seem to be exercising their discretion. The prosecutor seems to be a bit heavy handed. The judge/jury don't seem to understand what freedom of speech means.
There just has to be more to this story. I'm at a total loss. Then again, why do parents let their kids talk to the cops? "
Excuse me officer, my little Johnny will be happy to cooperate as soon as we consult with an attorney who I'm certain will want to be present before you conduct any type of questioning."
I think there is more to the story as well. that charge just doesn't stick. if so I know my wife could have every kid in her class charged at least once throughout the year of the exact same thing. some kids would be charged multiple times daily.Quote:

She also said that this would have gone away if the kid didnt draw the teacher and say death to her. Him drawing the teacher and wishing death upon her is where it crossed the line and forced them to take it to this level. They have a job to do, and its to protect the students and the teachers.

is this case held by mr story the da in jeffco you know the airsoftgun, trailer stealer ,guy i do not know?? same b.s mo[Rant2]
I would think that any good lawyer would be able to get the drawing thrown out based on therapist-client privelage. He drew it based on his sessions and was getting rid of it.
Had a good talk tonight with the wife about not talking to cops. Worked her thru this story and those examples in the internet/youtube video about not talking to police. I think she is starting to get it.
No wonder our government is going broke, we allow them to waste our money on stupid things like this. Since the definition of a crime is: the cause of injury to another, was there a crime committed by this boy? No, there was not. He might have broke some dumb rule but he did not commit a crime. The police have better things to do then chasing down stick people perps. Let the police work on getting rid of gang-bangers and other real problems.[Bang]
No doubt. We even used red pencils for a more lifelike effect for our stick people drawings back when I was a kid.Quote:

Thats it. Its not that he drew stick figures...ITS THAT HE MADE A DEATH THREAT TO THE TEACHER.
You cant do that no matter how old you are. Draw your boss and put death to him and see how far ya get.
