An 11-year-old and a 12-year-old student in Colorado were temporarily suspended from school after they were spotted with an Airsoft gun and a toy gun, respectively, during their online lessons.
Story 1: 11-year-old Maddox Blow, who goes to Bell Middle School in Golden, Colorado, told the FOX31 Problem Solvers that he finished a quiz early at one of his online classes and got bored waiting for the others, so he took his Airsoft gun and started fidgeting with it.
The teacher noticed Blow playing with the Airsoft gun several hours after the lesson while reviewing the recordings. According to an email that Justin Blow, Maddox’s father, received from the teacher, “Maddox Blow was posing with what looked like a toy gun. He did this for a few minutes, showing the gun and putting in the gun clip on camera.”
A school resource officer reported the incident to a local police officer, who went to Blow’s house for a welfare check.

Little perps probably gnaw PopTarts into the shape of handguns.

That lesson was far more valuable than it started out to be.
Just how does one get suspended from virtual school? And what idiot parent let’s a cop search the home with no warrant?
Ping
It is hard to believe I live in a country where things this stupid can happen.
Did the police tell the caller to “GROW UP”?
cant he claim he was hacked like everyone else does and deny any wrong doing?
IDIOTS!
MORONS!
IMBECILES!
THESE PEOPLE ARE TEACHING YOUR CHILDREN!!!!!...............
He should go with the ‘bitch set me up’ defense.
Oh good grief! Insanity.
I’d yank my kid out of that school so fast it would make their heads swim - even if it didn’t happen to my child.
In public school in the 1960’s I was taught how the evil Soviet Union inserted itself into the average families lives.
These stories would have fit in that curriculum perfectly.
I’d require a search warrant from the police before I let them in my house. And the minute I heard my child was suspended, I’d yank them out and go full on home schooling.
I think they called the police but maybe not
It would be hilarious if some kid held up his nerf gun in front of the camera and said, “this is my nerf gun. There are many like it, but this one is mine.”
In the ‘50s and ‘60s, we’d take our toy guns to school and show them off, and play cowboys and Indians on the playground, especially after Christmas when many kids had new ones.
This “virtual classroom” crap is just a way for the panopticon of the ‘almighty’ State to peer into homes. They want to see who has the guns. “Never let a crisis go to waste” — Rahm Emmanuel.
For a gun to be an actual “gun”, it needs to shoot lead projectiles via an explosive charge. Everything else is a toy or other form of weapon. I’d worry more about a guy coming at me with a steak knife than a bb gun. ANY BB gun.
And toy guns (i.e. nerf, etc.) are just toys. They are specifically designed so that they can not harm. They are no more “guns” than the 1/24th scale model I built of a ‘57 Chevy is a 57 Chevy. The only similarity is appearance. And the size kinda gives it away.
These people are complete idiots. That’s fine, the world is full of complete idiots, but putting them in any kind of position of authority is, well, asinine.
Just turn off the camera.... problem solved.
The 11/12 year old kids around here own their own hunting rifles and shoot for deer every year. The teachers do too.
