“From a public safety point of view, any child drawing a picture of guns and saying there’s guns in a home would warrant some further conversation with the parents and child.”
So a 4 year old is now considered a whistle blower for the government ?
Oh yeah..get kids to report wrong doing by their parents and then just haul the parents off to jail.
4 year olds know exactly what's true/false, real/imaginary or just plain made up because she was drawing and coloring.
I seem to recall that kids were used to spy and inform on their parents during another time in history.
Worked out quite well for the government as they could "eliminate" those very bad people.
Oh they already tell these kids to feel free to let em know if they're parents are being "tough" on em etc. DHS will take care of all you little kiddies. Oh and we get federal money for every child we put into foster care too. Of course they don't tell the little kiddies that info or that foster care has much higher rate of child abuse. Sad world this is turning into with the nanny state involved in everything.
I sometimes wonder if there is not a mental disorder at work with some of these bureaucratic decisions. I remember reading a case several years ago about a guy who had a Glock lapel pin. Just a tiny, flat piece of metal shaped like a Glock pistol. Not an actual gun--it just plays one on your lapel. Nonetheless, the guy was not allowed to board his flight with it.
these fools would like nothing better than to ban firearms. then the only people that would have the firearms are the cops, goverment and the criminals.
Yes, you can own both rifles/shotguns and handguns. However, it is alot of work to get permits etc...
Yep. Washington DC and other areas of the US have lost their constitutionality fights on gun bans and have shifted gears to essentially a "poll tax" tactic out of the Jim Crow era.
Oh, we don't ban guns....we just make it prohibitively difficult to do so.
I looked into this case and I'm telling you this. If I was that guy, the school board, the cops and the fanily and childrens services would be buying me a nice house on the beach in Naples Florida. I can't for the life of me understand way the guy would have signed a document allowing the police to search his house, AFTER THE FACT????? I guess he's just a far nicer guy than I am. Those people would be toast after my lawyer got through with them. Just take a look at some of the cases of Canadians who have gone after officials for constitutional abuse. Millions of dollars in awards.
Yeah. If this crap happened here in the US, my very first call would be to my lawyer buddy and we'd have a nice long laugh about it while cashing the settlement check.
My guess is the dad probably plays x-box shooter games and his daughter has seen him shooting zombies etc.
Looks like the hysteria the anti-gun fanatics have been trying to whip up, is really taking root in Canada.
Now a man arriving at a public school to pick up his kids, has been arrested, cuffed, locked in a police car, taken to the station, and strip-searched. His wife was also instructed to report to the police, and their children taken to Family and Children's Services, after their four-year-old daughter drew a picture on a piece of paper, that she said was a gun.
Canada doesn't have a 2nd amendment.
It's an ominous hint about where our own country may be heading as leftist big-govt advocates try harder and harder to ignore ours, and whip up similar hysteria against safe, law-abiding gun owners.
A father has been arrested, strip-searched and hauled in for questioning – all because his four-year-old daughter drew a picture of a gun at school.
“I’m picking up my kids and then, next thing you know, I’m locked up,” Jessie Sansone, 26, told the Waterloo Region Record in Canada. “I was in shock. This is completely insane. My daughter drew a gun on a piece of paper at school.”
Sansone, a Kitchener resident, had arrived at Forest Hill public school to pick up his children when he was called to the principal’s office. Three police officers informed him he was being charged with possession of a firearm. Then he was escorted out of the school, handcuffed and locked in the back of a police car. Sansone was forced to undergo a full strip search.
Alison Scott, executive director of Family and Children’s Services, told the Record, “From a public safety point of view, any child drawing a picture of guns and saying there’s guns in a home would warrant some further conversation with the parents and child.”
When a teacher asked Neaveh (Sansone's daughter) who the man in the picture was, she purportedly said, “That’s my daddy’s. He uses it to shoot bad guys and monsters.”
“I just think they blew it out of proportion,” his wife said. “It was for absolutely nothing. They searched our house upside down and found nothing. They had the assumption he owned a firearm.”
She added, “The way everything happened was completely unnecessary, especially since we know the school very well. I don’t understand how they came to that conclusion from a four-year-old’s drawing.”
