Scissors Get Girl in Legal Trouble (http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/local/10390856.htm?1c)
A 10-year-old fourth-grade girl at Holme Elementary School in the Far Northeast was pulled out of class, handcuffed, and taken to the local police station in the back of a police wagon earlier this week after a pair of 8-inch scissors were found in her book bag, according to authorities and her angry mother.
(I added the bold for emphasis)
What is wrong with people? The girl didn't have a knife, she had a pair of scissors. I remember using scissors in school all the time. And for third grade & up, we didn't even have to use the safety scissors. We had the regular, stainless steel sharp-as-hell variety!
