Florida Boy Arrested For Gas Attack


www.thesmokinggun.com
NOVEMBER 21--A 12-year-old Florida student was arrested earlier this month after he "deliberately passed gas to disrupt the class," according to police. The child, who was also accused of shutting off the computers of classmates at Stuart's Spectrum Jr./Sr. High School, was busted November 4 for disruption of a school function. A Martin County Sheriff's Office report, a copy of which you'll find below, notes that the 4' 11" offender admitted that he "continually disrupted his classroom environment by breaking wind and shutting off several computers." The boy, whose name was redacted from the police report released today, was turned over to his mother following the arrest. The young perp turned 13 on November 15.

It's like Katt Williams said, YOUR CHILD IS SUPPOSED TO LIKE CANDY

seriously though ARRESTING a TWELVE YEAR OLD BOY for being

*gasp*

What kind of bs is that, if I got arrested every time I thought it would be funny to set off stink bombs in class...hell I'd be serving life.

Absolutely ridiculous, give the kid a friggin break

What would you recommend to a child who purposely disrupts a classroom setting and clearly has no respect of authority because he ignores what he is told and misbehaves?

I'm not saying I think the child should or shouldn't be arrested, but he certainly shouldn't be given a break!

He was handed over to his parents. Maybe that little arrest will shape him up. Maybe it wont. Who knows, but something needed to be done for a disrespectful child!

The fact that teachers went so far out of their way to get police involved. That is what I'm talking about, I don't disagree with you on the fact that a disruptive child needs to be taught his/her lesson, but also consider his age, their thought process, so the kid turns of computers and annoys the teachers, it isn't RIGHT by any means, but 12 year olds have a habit of doing things they know will annoy the heck out of you JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN.

Detention, expulsion, suspension, those are considered "societal norms" cause and effect, you do this, and this happens, you do this, or something else again, something else will happen, almost always the consequences for repeated offenses become harsher.

What I'm getting at, is the teacher actually called the police...that involves dialing 911 and filing it under some sort of emergency. I can understand if the kid was throwing chairs, using foul language, physically abusing others, but he was doing what all kids do.

Last but not least, this boy might actually have some sort of disability, I haven't read anywhere mentioning this, but a lot of disruptive behavior can be attributed to ADHD, and while many discredit ADD and ADHD and simple scapegoats, I have seen the difference between a so called "normal-child" and one who has been diagnosed but is not being treated for ADHD, as well as one who is just outright cruel. Mind you, I'm not using this as an excuse for his actions, merely another perspective to look from

Either way, I'm not condoning his actions, I'm just saying he's 12, this isn't another Lionel Tate killing his playmate, this is a kid portraying the classical stereotype of the "class clown" disruptive, unconventional, NON-VIOLENT behavior.

I would recomend a behavior plan for the student. He probably should have had one all along. Sounds like the school was negligent in intervening for this child.

the problem is that today teachers are not allowed to ENFORCE discipline - back when i was at school [ over 30 years ago , in the UK ] we recieved " the ruler " - 1 blow across the palm for minor infractions - and for serious misdemenours it was off to the deputy headmasters study for 1 , 2 , 5 or 10 lashes from the cane .
we were not ` little angels ` - and did some truelly stupid pranks - pouring zylene [ an organic solvent which is higyly inflasmable down the sink at one end of a bench - and stuffing a lit taper down the other end then ` woosh ` got me and my best mate and unprecedented 20 lashes each - ouch

but IIRC the only time the police were called to the school was when one poor lad decided that his grand fathers service revolver wasa the " solution " to the bullying he endured - as it happens he had not cartriges

for all ` internal discipline ` matters staff were allowed to handle it - and if you didnt take your punishment ` like a man ` the sports master [ an ex royal marine ] could and on occasion did drag miscreats to the heads study

nowadays - such practice would never be allowed - but back then it was perfectly normal - and we had a disciplined school - we all survived the experience - i realise that some establishments were guilty of abuses - but at all my schools - to the best of my knowledge - all punishment was warrented , and proportionate

to address this case - it the child in question had recieved one stroke of the cane the first time he sitched off all the computers - would he have done it again in the same lesson ?

i do have to agree - writting up farting as a " gas attack " is assanine

I am not sure how it is across the rest of the U.S., but as for Florida, all schools have 1-2 school resource officers stationed there at all times. In the case of elementary -juniior high/middle school these officers usually serve as educators about drugs and crime etc. and as external security during incoming and outgoing classes. So as for a leech of law enforcement from thier rounds or from busting "REAL" criminals that point is Non-applicable. And to tell you ythe truth the amount of idiots here that start a police chase and ditch a vehicle to only enter school grounds to hide is becoming the norm. That being said , the child being a disruption for farting could have been handled administartor-wise. Intentional disruption by repeatedly turning off computers even after being told to correct his behavior is more in line with removal from the class. Teachers can't even use harsh language anymore because the PC Monster has bound thier hands and take the stance , the child is ALWYAS right. Thats why we have soooo many little turd-balls running around schools and public just doing what they please becasue of this "do what you want when you want attitude" alot of parents are instilling in thier kids. As long as it doesn't affect them or irritate them at home they turn a blind-eye to what happens to thier kids. I have an 12 year old girl, I may not have been the perfect parent, but I guarantee you she knows what acceptable behavior in public settings is.
