Melody Valentin was given the “paper gun,” which amounted to little more than a sheet of A4 paper with a corner torn off, by her grandfather before she put it in her pocket and forgot all about it.
When a school administrator found the piece of paper, Valentin was verbally chastised in front of the whole class and, according to her mother, even threatened with arrest. Valentin was also searched as the other children looked on.
Last week, a 5-year-old girl from Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania was interrogated for three hours, forced to undergo psychological testing and suspended by school officials after she was accused of making “terroristic threats” for joking about shooting her friends with a pink Hello KItty bubble gun.
Earlier this month a 6-year-old boy was suspended from his elementary school in Maryland for making a gun gesture with his hand and saying “pow”.
Days later another two 6-year-olds in Maryland were suspended for pointing their fingers into gun shapes while playing “cops and robbers” with each other.
In Oklahoma, a five-year-old boy was also recently suspended for making a gun gesture with his hand.
A 13-year-old Middle School seventh grade student in Pennsylvania was also suspended for the same hand gesture.
A Long Island high school was also placed on lock down for 6 hours in response to a student carrying a toy nerf gun.
