Gun at a Clearwater Elementary School
I had head from a few friends that it was considered one of the better public elementary schools in the north end of the county. It’s not in a particularly bad neighborhood, and the stats show a lot of two-family homes feed the school. Even so, Friday was still a pretty frightening day for everyone at Leila G. Davis Elementary School in Clearwater, Florida.
A LOADED handgun was found in the backpack of a KINDERGARTEN student by a teacher’s assistant.
A loaded handgun in a kindergartner’s backpack.
Wow.
It turns out that the six-year-old found the loaded gun in his grandparents’ bedroom and brought the gun to school to show his friends.
So far, the word is that criminal charges will not be filed. Even so, the school district does have a policy that any child who possesses or exhibits a gun at school will be suspended and recommended for expulsion.
I know a lot of people might keep a loaded handgun in their bedside table, but that is one of those things you need to change once you have a child living in your home. I know when my daughter was born; guns in my hone were moved and stored differently. It seemed a like a no-brainer.
Isn’t there some sort of penalty for the grandparents who have the child living with htem? This seems like the logical thing to me.
