Violent stick-figure drawings put kids in cuffs
AP OCALA, Fla. – Two boys were arrested for making pencil-and-crayon stick figure drawings depicting a 10-year-old classmate being stabbed and hung, police said. The children, charged with a felony, were taken from school in handcuffs.
The 9- and 10-year-old boys were arrested Monday and charged with making a written threat to kill or harm another person. They were also suspended from school.
Boy, most of us would be on death row if they ever found our drawings. Mine cover the time periods between 1973 and about 1979. I’m glad they’ve long-since biodegraded. There is no statute of limitations on threat of murder, in all probabability… oh man, yet another thing to keep me tossing and turning at night.
