11-year-old boy arrested over stick figure drawing : News : ConnectAmarillo.com. The 11-year-old boy suffers from Attention Deficit Disorder and under therapy. When he gets upset, his therapist has told him to draw pictures as an outlet for his feelings. The drawing he did, was inappropriate, but once he drew it, he calmed down and was throwing the picture away. The teacher saw it, saw that it depicted violence against her, and sent him to the principal’s office. They knew he was under therapy and not a real threat, and informed his parents of what had happened. But later that night, police showed up at their home and arrested and handcuffed the boy. Did the police go too far? There is a poll…vote your opinion.

Everyone wants to say the police over-reacted, but I representative a group of citizens who’ve lost family members to stick person violence, and we think the police acted appropriately.

I am sorry for your loss. I guess I have never run across this before and I tend to err in favor of the minor child.
