In a horrifyingly strange example of some real, utter, insanity, a group of 9-year old kids plotted to kill their third-grade teacher.
“The plan was to handcuff the teacher, put tape over her mouth and hit her over the head with the paperweight and possibly cut her,” said Lieutenant Duane Caswell of Waycross police.
Now if that isn’t true insanity, I don’t know what is. My question: what kind of society are we living in where kids as young as 9 are plotting murder? Are we over-exposing them to violent media? Or do you think it’s the surrounding environment?

I also saw this in the newsfeeds yesterday. But I didn’t know what to make of it. Like, who instigated it, how did they all decide to go along with it (surely there were some dissenters) and what do the parents of the kids have to say? Also, how did the teacher react (I think I’d quit asap) and what are the school board going to do about it? It truly is freaky though. Maybe they’ve been watching too much CSI.
How can a nine year old be stronger than a teacher?
Yazzy: A single 9 year old? Yea, don’t think that’s a problem. A gang of them? That’s where the problem is…
