'Is putting your kid in public school child abuse?' Insty has asked;

answer seems to be YES!
Alex Stone said he and his classmates were told in class to write a few sentences about themselves, and a "status" as if it was a Facebook page.

Stone said in his "status" he wrote a fictional story that involved the words "gun" and "take care of business."

"I killed my neighbor's pet dinosaur, and, then, in the next status I said I bought the gun to take care of the business," Stone said.
...
Investigators say the teacher contacted school officials after seeing the message containing the words "gun" and "take care of business," and police were then notified on Tuesday.

Summerville police officials say Stone's bookbag and locker were searched on Tuesday, and a gun was not found.
Well, isn't that a damned shock?

And let's not leave the local cops out of this:
Summerville police officials say Stone was disruptive and was told that he was being detained for disturbing schools.

Stone was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. District officials say the student has been suspended.
Really?  You have actual crime so much under control you have time for this bullshit?

Teacher, school officials and cops involved: firing, and banning from ever working in the field again.  This is so frigging idiotic it's hard to describe.
