[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 514697, member: 3907"] Janet, I am 100% in agreement with you. The school teachers and other officials went WAY over the top in their reaction to the drawing, especially since the father was well known and apparently well liked at the school. They arrested him, arrested his wife, took 3 of their 4 children into police and Children's Aid custody for questioning, and were going to put the couple's baby in foster care, but the mother in law was able to take her. The teacher saw a gun and panicked. And then the agencies got involved and also panicked. And now they're falling back on the "for the good of the children" excuse. The Minister of Education for the province has been in full-blown CYA mode. TeDo, there WAS and IS a huge outcry, and rightly so. My point was really that because of our gun control laws and the way our legal system works, the father doesn't really have a prayer of getting any satisfaction from the courts. He would be put through the ringer for nothing. [/QUOTE]
