What was the poor girl's mother thinking by naming her daughter after a car? Does she have two brothers names Vauxhall and Fiat? Crazy. As to the incident, what else can you do? The principle was required by some stupid law to report the incident to the police, and it seems to have been an exercise in following the law to the letter but never intending to do anything to the girl. I am more worried by: " The scissors were found when school staff searched students' belongings for an item missing from a teacher's desk. " Gets the mistrust and conformity into them at a young age I suppose. We've gotta prepare them to be good little citizens in adulthood.

You are at the mercy and whim of your betters, whom you should neither contradict, aspire to replace, nor find fault in. Your proper peers are those most like you, and you should neither attempt to differentiate yourself, nor attempt to socialize with those having obvious differences. Rules come from your superiors, never from your peers. Rules must be obeyed without question. From cradle to grave, you will have people above you, whose smallest accomplishments should fill you with awe, and whose signature defines your purpose in life. You will have peers whom you must watch like a hawk, for if they should leave you behind your life would be worthless. You will have work to do that does nothing but keep you busy - your output may be discarded without examination by your superiors, but should they deem it unworthy you will be destitute. Do not produce work of exceptionally high quality however, or your peers may resent you, and your taskmaster may come to expect nothing less. Better to spend your time ingratiating yourself with those around you. Time not spent working is a gift from your betters. Time spent working for yourself is a luxury too great to hope for. Nothing you do will ever be worthwhile, save this: if you entertain your peers and leaders, you may be remembered for a time. Some day soon, you will die. You should fear this, because it will end your chances of being noticed by others. Do everything in your power to become well-known prior to your demise - how you are known is not important. Above all else, ridicule those who do not play by these rules. Do not criticize, and especially do not try to understand - these are wastes of time. Punishment must be swift and brutal to prevent such cheating.

Worse, they could have been NUKELAR scissors - the type most favored by crazed terrorist, particularly those cleverly disguised as 10 year old girls. Whew, I can breath a sigh of relief now, knowing that this dangerous child will be safely put behind bars! ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

I suppose it's both a combination of humor impairment, and annoyance at me for failing to RTFA - the little girl was arrested at a school, and had nothing to do with the airlines - I wrongly assumed it was the TSA at work here. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

Maybe she was an aspiring new member of this cult: http://www.armchair.mb.ca/~scissors/ :omg: (How do you do clicketys? Please help!) At what point do we outlaw paper? Paper cuts can be deadly, if left untreated! :)
