Autistic Boy Faces Felony Rap

Sometimes I am just amazed in how petty dictators (Public School Officials) can make a mountain out of a molehill.

Autistic Boy Faces Felony Rap for Stick-Figure Sketch


(May 14) -- A 14-year-old autistic boy in Georgia faces possible felony charges of making terroristic threats after he drew a stick-figure version of himself firing a gun at his teacher.
After discovering the crudely rendered drawing that Shane Finn had made on his classwork, officials at Atlanta's Ridgeview Charter School suspended the eighth-grader and decided to pursue charges against him, Fox News in Atlanta reported.
In Finn's drawing, a stick figure identified as "me" is shooting a gun at the head of another stick figure, identified as "hartman," a reference to one of the boy's teachers. Finn also added a tombstone to the picture, with the letters "R.I.P."
