This is rediculous and I'm getting sick and tired of this kind of crap happening. This was clearly an accident and the little girl had no idea she was doing anything wrong. UGH!!!!!!!

I agree if anyone should be arrested it should be the stupid mother for sending her to school with the knife in the first place. Couldnt the bimbo cut the meat at home then pack it in the bag for the kid.Moron.

At my kids' school they'd be arrested if found in possession of a peanut.

This is about the true measure of Public Schools and the idiots who run them.

But in Maine they’re giving morning after pills to 11 year olds and in other areas 11 year olds can have an abortion without their Parents knowledge of CONSENT.

In California children must attend classes on indoctrination of Homosexual Lifestyle.

It’s over Folks !!!!

I sent an email to Gov. Crist urging him to pardon her, and I would encourage you to do the same. I don’t fault the cops for doing their job, but this is what the pardon power is for—to right injustice caused by strict technical application of the law in situations that don’t really warrant the penalty imposed. We don’t need to prosecute a 10 year old girl for bringing a knife to school to cut her lunch meat. She (and others) can be taught the necessary lesson with measures that don’t remind you of Muslim “justice.”

Just another example of zero tolerance for common sense in our tax funded public schools.

Doesn’t the school have knives in the cafeteria that a teacher or cafeteria worker could have used to cut her meat for her? Or are all knives, including those cooks would need, outlawed in schools?

“it made no difference what the knife was being used for, they had no choice but to call police.”

I guess this means that knives are universally evil and dangerous, and that thus, they will start using the term “knifeman” when referring to such perp. Just like every perp with a firearm is called “gunman”.

In this case, I guess she would be the “knifegirl” or “knifewoman”.

“Anytime there’s a weapon on campus, yes, we have to report it and we aggressively report it because we don’t want to take any chances, regardless,” Christian said.

Since when is a steak knife classified as a weapon? A steak knife being being used for its intended application is not a weapon - heck a 3 inch thick history book could be a weapon if used to beat someone to death - should we ban those as well?.

Just my 2 cents worth of take on this, but I hearken back to the works of Deep Throat who said, "follow the money."

Why are these teachers so afraid to color outside the lines? Why did the school admin say, "they had no choice?"

In my opinion it all comes down to the body of "professionals" that make money on this. Don't you figure this family will have to hire an attorney now? The parents, and I unfortunately have experience with this, will fork over whatever dollar amount required to get their kid out of jail. Depending in when she was arrested, they may have made her stay in the juvie center for an entire weekend. They will also pay an attorney to make sure her record is cleared or sealed depending on how it all shakes out. Call me a cynic, but shell out a few 10s of thousands of dollars because of some logic free situation and you may come over to the dark side with me as well.

Parents, get your kids out of public schools!

It makes no difference the knife was used to cut food and no crime was committed. Idiots!

Captain Jimmy Pogue of the Marion County Sheriff’s office said the 10-year-old was not treated like a criminal.

“I don’t want people to feel like we’re arresting 10-year-olds, handcuffing them, and hauling them off in a back of a patrol car and taking them to jail,” Pogue told MyFOXOrlando. “That’s not the circumstance.”


Nah, no one would believe you didn’t loose all common sense! Nah, it’s common to see 10 year old girls, cuffed, and taking them off in a police car and NOT think they are some kind of a criminal. Never mind what the girls uncle said or the petrified girl who wasn’t threatening anyone. It’s my evil imagination at work again ... .
