Lately, with schools becoming ‘ground zero’ for violence and sociopaths, I get that folks are antsy and want to head off any potential disasters before they happen. But when simple simulation from a FIVE-YEAR-OLD makes the powers that be think a contract is in order, ‘zero tolerance’ becomes ABSOLUTE MADNESS. Let somebody step to MY baby expecting a signature on a contract without consulting me, DA’ HAYELL?!?
“School officials (Alabama) told Rebecca they had to send Elizabeth home after an incident in class.
“They told me she drew something that resembled a gun,” said Rebecca. “According to them she pointed a crayon at another student and said, ‘pew pew,” said Rebecca.
She said her child was given a questionnaire to evaluate her for suicidal thoughts.
“[They] Asked her if she was depressed now,” said Rebecca.
Without her permission, Rebecca said her child was given the Mobile County Public School Safety Contract to sign stating she wouldn’t kill herself or others.
“While I was in the lobby waiting they had my 5-year-old sign a contract about suicide and homicide,” said Rebecca.
According to state law, minors cannot legally sign a contract.
“There should be a different way to handle this situation. If this is protocol it needs to be looked at again,” said Rebecca.
Local 15 News contacted school officials to see what the proper protocol is when handling “violent-like” behavior. Local 15 News has not heard back. (Local 15 News)
