NBC ConnecticutThe mother of a -12-year-old boy who brought a grenade to school for show-and-tell related to World War II lessons has been arrested.
Johnson Academy in Stratford was placed on lockdown around 10:30 a.m. Friday and students were evacuated to the auditorium until a State Police bomb squad determined the grenade was a simulator used for training.
Lisa Miguel, 44, of Stratford, was charged with risk of injury to a minor, reckless endangerment and illegal possession of an explosive.
When Miguel’s son told her about the lesson at school, she gave him the simulated grenade to bring, police said.
She told police that the grenade was from her late-father’s military days and she thought it was a “dud,” police said.
Miguel did not immediately return a message from the Associated Press seeking comment on Tuesday.
State Police said simulator grenades can combust and cause injuries within a 20-foot radius.
My, my, how times change.
In 2nd or 3rd grade, I brought a dummy WW2 grenade to Show & Tell.
Everyone thought it was cool.
Now?
Hysteria.
Looks like fluoride and the government are winning the race to make Amerikans the stupidest people on the planet, bar none.
Lesson learned from WWII studies—-The Fascists won!!
Schoolers—geesh!!
All BULLSHIT by a pack of LIARS in THE POLICE STATE. What a bunch of disgusting PIGS. Th filth they hire in DHS and these other operations are such rotten trash. I hate LIARS like this. Typical panty waste punks. Roided up pea brains with tinny dinks and a mind(or lack there of) to match. Buy more ammo and be prepared to get rid of these clowns. Liberty1775 MGK GDW!
This would be laughable if it weren’t so disgustingly pitiful.
Yup
Definitely.
