Damn things should be registered or at least require some sort of "child safety lock"


Child returns to class after making knife threats

GRANVILLE -- A third-grader who allegedly threatened fellow classmates with a small knife from a child's science kit is back in class at Granville Elementary School.

The student, who was suspended after he brought a knife to school on May 10, is accused in a Granville police report of threatening four students.

The report was to be handed over to the Licking County Prosecutor's Office this week to determine if charges should be filed, Police Chief Steve Cartnal said.

The report was filed May 20 by a parent of one of the alleged victims. She claims that the student pulled her son and a friend aside at school and stuck the knife to her son's throat, stating that he would kill him if he told anyone he had the knife.

The report also states that on a school bus earlier that day, the student had shown the knife to another student and later told two students not to tell anyone about the knife, threatening them with a paper clip.
