Schoolboys Arrested for Violent Drawings

Once again our legal system WAY out of control.



Schoolboys Arrested for Violent Drawings
Wednesday, January 26, 2005

OCALA, Fla. — Two boys, ages 9 and 10, were charged with felonies and taken away from school in handcuffs, accused of making violent drawings of stick figures.

The boys were arrested Monday on charges of making a written threat to kill or harm another person, a second-degree felony.

The special education students (search) used pencil and red crayon to draw primitive stick figure scenes on scrap paper that showed a 10-year-old classmate being stabbed and hung, police said.

"The officer found they were drawing these pictures for the sole purpose of intimidating and scaring the victim," said Ocala Police Sgt. Russ Kern.

The boy depicted in the drawings told his teacher, who took the sketches and contacted the school dean, Marty Clifford. Clifford called police, who arrested the boys after consulting with the State Attorney's Office.

They were also suspended from school.

One drawing showed the two boys standing on either side of the other boy and "holding knives pointed through" his body, according to a police report. The figures were identified by written names or initials.


Another drawing showed a stick figure hanging, tears falling from his eyes, with two other stick figures standing below him. Other pieces of scrap paper listed misspelled profanities and the initials of the boy who was allegedly threatened.

Parents of both of the arrested boys said they thought the boys should be punished by the school and families, not the legal system.

If the school sucks so bad they can't control a 9 or 10 year old he would need to be pulled anyway. As a society we have become WAY, WAY, WAY too litigious IMO. One of the things that irritates me the most though is this pussification of the American male, it is completely unacceptable. We are one step away from removing my godson from his school now. Somebody goes to hit him again he is going for it and they will kick HIM out of school. We have got to quit this mentality or we are going to have a bunch of mamby pamby candy asses for a next generation.

Don't forget it was a felony too. OMG what are we becoming? Any men left with balls in this country need to stand up against this kind of shit.

This poor soul went through the stick men BAD!
Rehab program and still continued his evil ways . Police raided his apartment and found more deranged stick men pics. Here he is being arrested and off to the slammer among murderers, thieves and the drug dealers where he will fit in.

The individual also won the Christian Slater look-alike contest back in 2002 by the way.

I mean, WTF happened to parenting? How can adults even serioulsy sit and think that arresting a 9 YEAR OLD kid was right? He's a fucking kid and mentally challenged to boot. You don't arrest kids. You tell their parents to start fucking parenting.

[Fairplay]

Yes drawing stick men in evil ways aren't just a growing problem in the U.S.

Here in Pakistan and through out the middle east children are being arrested and taken to jail for this hideous crime.

This girl, being taken below won't see her parents again until the year 2018.

Next thing you know they will be charging the 6 year olds with felonies for getting into the National Geographic magazines to check out some titties. Those little bastards deserve it there is no telling what someone with a sick mind like that is capable of later on in life.

Now I finally know what's is wrong with Rain Man and it was right in my face all this time. Arrest him and charge him with a felony, that avatar looks very menacing.

[Fairplay]

Why hadn't i thought about that. Evil was lurking its evil head right before our very eyes when Rainman posts!

Someone gouge my eyes out quickly!

The press making such a big deal out of small crap like this is part of the problem with the violence seen in the schools.

This kids doesn't think of the consequences of what they do they just realize all the publicity they will get. They think of being on tv and newspapers.

Put the paddling back in the schools, when they do something that isn't right, let the principal paddle their little asses and see how that works instead of letting them becoming stars.

The parents also need to put a little more effort in raising their children instead of the children raising themselves. Nowadays you spank your kid your taking the chance on going to jail.

I used to tell my kids, if I ever spank you and you ever say your calling the police, go ahead and call the rescue squad, you'll need it by the time the police gets here to take me to jail. I was just pulling the wool over their eyes of course, but if they ever had me locked up for spanking them, they would be going to live with their dad, I wouldn't put up with that.

One thing that makes me sick are those parent who get on tv and are crying cause they are afraid of their out of control 7 or 8 year old, whats up with that, the parents need to be beat for letting their child get our of control, I don't feel sorry for them, they don't deserve kids.

This illusion is brought to you by the liberal media, our schools have NEVER been safer. They say your kids are safer in school than they are at home. I read both of those awhile back I am sure the info is still out there somewhere.

What makes you more sick a parent who can't control a young kid or an entire school system we pay millions of dollars to that is so freaking weak that will all the training they have they still can't control the same kid without calling the cops and charging with a felony over drawings of stick people? It's really pathetic I agree with all of your takes.

Like I said, if it had been ignored, there may have been eventual death. The chances of it going that far? Pretty slim, but I wouldn't want to be the one who took that chance and lost. The school could have faced a huge law suit, and the someone could have lost their child.

We should not take ANY chances with what kids might do.

I would suggest locking all children up until they are 21. I know, I know, chances are they wouldn't murder anyone, but who wants to take that chance. And besides, think of the lawsuits it would thwart - especially of this kept a child from being murdered.

And - I would like to take this opportunity to narc on the grade school teachers I had way back in the olden days. Almost all of them would, from time to time, draw on the chalkboard figures of a stick man being hung. And they used to "pretend" it was a game called hangman. That's right, hangman. My God, how obvious can you get?

Geez, it's no wonder I have all of these pent up homicidal tendancies.
