10year old arrested for using knife at dinner table

[powelly]

Dont you just love those crazy Americans, we thought we had it bad when our government started talking about banning Samurai Swords yet over in the States you children can be arrested for the use of cutlery!

OK on a more serious note I can understand confiscation, maybe a chat with the parents etc etc, but arrest?

Lucky she wasnt tasered

She can't possibly be an "american", she must be an exchange student, I've yet to meet an "american" who can use cutlery or possesses table manners.

Well she was in elementary school think that makes her under 12 possibly? Bit harsh arresting her! would have just took it of her and told parents as its dangerous and not for kids to have.

Yep i agree, thats how it was back in those days however a penknife or a swiss army knife is a little different than walking around with a 5in open bladed steak knife.

do people just teleport to and from schools these days then?

[Drew]

I didnt see any mention of the knife being kept in a lunch box during the rest of the day.

Can you quote the part is says this?

[powelly]

[Drew]

just under the part it says that she teleported to school huh?

btw, lunchbox - crisps, sandwiches etc, why would she need a steak knife if she had a lunch box? Cutting up her mars bar?

I think everyone is missing the point.

Why didn't I get steak at school?

Open your eyes people, you don't just have a steak knife with you just to eat some food you have it for killing people. Do you think cavemen had knives for eating? Of course not, they had hands. She was out to kill someone, just because she didn't threaten or hurt anyone doesn't make it any different, I hope she's locked away for years.

It's obviously the school's fault for offering food that couldn't be consumed using only a spork.

I am scarred for life thanks to an 8 year old pyschopath who sharpened his pencil and dragged it through my forearm when we were at primary school, my other half has a blue mark where the lead broke off in his cheekbone at the hands of another pencil pscyhopath when he was at junior school, BAN PENCILS I SAY!!!!!!

Scorps and Sond what sort of primary school did you go to? No one would have done anything like that in mine, worst I seen was name calling on a rare occasion. Then again nuns ran my school and they where scary.

One time, in first grade, some asshole ate one of the buttons off my shirt. Does that count?

Wow I am glad I didnt go to american schools... On numerous occasions tha police confiscated bb guns and such off me when they came into school to search my bag... Bastards .
Oh well I deserved it, they oddly gave me my weapons back.
No I was not carrying them to threaten people with, me and my mates used to go to fields and shoot at eachother in mini skirmishes back in tha day... If they would have found my small arms factory on tha other hand I doubt very much I would be telling you any of this.

But yeh I have always carried some form of 'illicit' weaponry on my person, even in full view of police on occasions and to anyone who tells me I can't, meet my little friend
But apart from all else it is ridiculous because If you think about it knives are tha most important tool ever conceived, Tha knife was mankinds first lifeline in hunting, construction and combat and they have many useful functions in day to day life (NO NOT LITTLE PIKEY PRICKS MUGGING INNOCENT PEOPLE).

As far as I am concerned carrying sharp or even blunt weaponry such as batons for tha use of tool/ self defense is a right.
Anyone who fails to see tha useful qualities of such items has been brainwashed by this nanny state.
If everyone was allowed to carry knives/ guns/ bats ect then who knows, prehaps everybody would think twice about violent crime, all I know is it deffinitly wouldn't get any worse, since all these effects have been banned there has been no improvement, just a decline in tha publics feeling of safety.
