Cops: 3rd-Graders Aimed to Hurt Teacher

WAYCROSS, Ga. (AP) — A group of third-graders plotted to attack their teacher, bringing a broken steak knife, handcuffs, duct tape and other items for the job and assigning children tasks including covering the windows and cleaning up afterward, police said Tuesday. The plot involving as many as nine boys and girls at Center Elementary School in south Georgia was a serious threat, Waycross Police Chief Tony Tanner said.

School officials alerted police Friday after a pupil tipped off a teacher that a girl had brought a weapon to school. Tanner said the students apparently planned to knock the teacher unconscious with a crystal paperweight, bind her with the handcuffs and tape and then stab her with the knife.

The children, ages 8 to 10, were apparently mad at the teacher because she had scolded one of them for standing on a chair, Tanner said. Police seized a steak knife with a broken handle, steel handcuffs, duct tape, electrical and transparent tape, ribbons and the paperweight from the students, Tanner said.

Currie said he decided to seek juvenile charges against two girls, ages 9 and 10, who brought the knife and paperweight and an 8-year-old boy who brought tape. He said all three students faced charges of conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, and both girls were being charged with bringing weapons to school.

I live two hours away from that town, and there's not much else to do there.

By the way, thats a pretty involved plan for a bunch of third graders.

 

 

crazy stuff. ive only been out of high school for about four year, and my best friend was telling me in hs now they have farming parties. apparently everyone brings rx drugs and dumps them into a big bowl. then you just grab a few and pop them, and hope for the best. hah. crazy stuff man.

 

harry potter just turns your kids ___

 

Wow that is pretty hardcore - and creepy that 3rd graders thought of that

 

Elvis??

 

These are the same 10 year old kids that own in halo 3.

 

april fools? pleasee? if not thats just creepy

 

I'd definitely add

friends
parents


but unlike u i believe these things are correct. What ELSE can make 9 yrs old f*cked up.

 

wow doesn't sound very smart lol..i'm in high school but i would never do that.

 

Wow...especially since my aunt is a 3rd grade teacher in Ohio......

It amazing what some people can come up with nowadays....im concerned for my kids i dont even have yet!!!

 

Unfortunately not an April fool's joke.

But yeah, I think the people who should be most concerned are those of us who don't even have kids yet. Each generation of kids seems to be about 20% more f*cked up than the last, so just imagine what our kids will be like.
