MOUNT CARMEL, Pa. (AP) — A 5-year-old Pennsylvania
girl who told another girl she was going to shoot her with a pink toy
gun that blows soapy bubbles has been suspended from kindergarten.
Her family has hired an attorney to fight the punishment, which initially was 10 days but was reduced to two.
Attorney Robin Ficker says Mount Carmel Area School District officials labeled the girl a "terrorist threat" for the bubble gun remark, made Jan. 10 as both girls waited for a school bus.
Ficker says the girl didn't even
have the bubble gun with her and has never fired a real gun. He says
she's "the least terroristic person in Pennsylvania."
School district solicitor Edward Greco
tells pennlive.com (http://bit.ly/13Nu0QF ) officials are looking into
the case. He said Friday school officials aren't at liberty to discuss
disciplinary actions.
