Kinja – by Jay HathawayA Mobile, Ala., mom says school officials forced her daughter to sign a contract promising not to commit suicide or harm others after the kindergartner “drew something that resembled a gun,” then pointed a crayon at another kid and said “pew, pew!”
5-year-old Elizabeth was sent home after school officials made her take a questionnaire to evaluating her for suicidal thoughts, then had her sign the safety contract promising to contact an adult if she was thinking of suicide or homicide. This all happened while her mom waited in the lobby to pick her up, the upset parent told WPMI.
According to her mom, Elizabeth didn’t know most of the words on the contract she signed. “Suicide,” in particular, was a new one for her.
“Mommy, daddy, what is suicide?” Elizabeth’s mother says she asked.
The school, E.R. Dickson Elementary, didn’t respond to WPMI’s request for comment on whether treating 5-year-olds as suicide risks is normal protocol in these situations.
Elizabeth’s mom said school officials recommended the 5-year-old see a psychiatrist. She refused.

Schoolers
Children playing cops and robbers with a crayon….bad.
Leaving our borders wide open flooding our schools with illegals carrying disease…..good.
Government could care less about your safety. They only care about control. It’s all about showing you who’s boss. It makes me sick.
Is it just me, or has the world gone completely f@#$ing mad?
Hey Swifty, the commies are swarming. Time to shut em down.
“Elizabeth’s mom said school officials recommended the 5-year-old see a psychiatrist.”
A 5 yr. old?
The lunatics have indeed taken over the asylum.
This line of insane thinking will eventually lead to even more ludicrous things. “OMG! A student sneezed! Quick! Put them in an isolation unit and make them sign legal documents promising not to spread Ebola or Enterovirus D68! Make their entire family report to the nearest FEMA camp for vaccination………oh and have some of those hermetically sealed coffins ready!”
