Re: Boys arrested for stick figure drawings - Is this really necessary?
I'm ALMOST with Juan.
Fact is, sounds like the little crapheads need discipline. I know I would NOT have gotten away with something like that as a kid...and I'm only 20. If my parents saw me drawing pictures like that of others, I'd've had red buns for days.
So, if the parents obviously aren't doing it, it's good that they're getting the crap scared out of them early. They have to learn somehow.
However, it seems that it's a bit unfair. Drawing a picture is quite a different thing from actually COMMITTING a crime. They didn't commit a felony. They're freaking 9 and 10. Being taken away in cuffs? Come on, people. I know kids that did worse than draw stick figures in school. It's stupid. This whole "zero tolerance" idiocy has led to paranoia and the resulting stupidity, not safety and justice.
