The call of the wood duck strikes again! This time in a Martin Country, FL school where a 13-year-old boy was arrested for “breaking wind”. He then “shut off computers” the other students were using. (It was unclear as to if the computer’s shut down were as a result of the noxious blasts.)
The Sheriff’s department responded to the call and filed a report. (Gives new perspective to the “To Serve and Protect” motto, eh?)
The boy was then placed under arrest (“Disrupting a school function”) by the school’s resource officer (read: School cop) and remanded to his mom’s custody.
Good Gracious! This is so beyond silly it almost leaves me speechless.
I read the article to my kids. They laughed. And I laughed. In our home, some of the most hilarious moments occur a few hours after a pot of chili. My boys have almost raised flatulence to an art form (one which I insist is expressed outside.) Yes, we’re pretty earthy around here. Such is life with boys.
But I’m not without reason and can understand the, ummmm, disruption this could cause in the classroom. But did it really need the Sheriff’s Department to respond? Will this kid have a rap sheet now as a Seriel Fartist? Will the Sheriff’s deputy cars now have to be equipped with Gas X? Are new Sheriff’s deputies trained and equipped to face this new generation of criminals?
Just wonderin’…….
