"One drawing showed the two boys standing on either side of the other boy and ``holding knives pointed through'' his body, according to a police report. The figures were identified by written names or initials.
Another drawing showed a stick figure hanging, tears falling from his eyes, with two other stick figures standing below him. Other pieces of scrap paper listed misspelled profanities and the initials of the boy who was allegedly threatened."
Rather than going "Well you two aren't going near that kid", they arrest them.
Pathetic.

I am gonna assume that these kids were actually taunting the other child with these drawings and that this has happened on other occasions.
if that is indeed is the case then bringing in the police as a "scared straight" tactic isn't so bad...as long as the children were just shortly suspended and and lectured by law enforcement about how serious death threats truly are.
if I am wrong and the kids were really charged with a crime then that is a shame..they are just children..all children do naughty things being charged for it would be ridiculous

Unfortunately it wasn't "scared straight" tactic. They were charged with a federal felony.
