DANGEROUS WEAPONS

 

Massachusetts – A 5-year-old boy in Massachusetts may be suspended after he reportedly built a toy gun out of Legos during an after-school program. Joseph Cardosa, the student, is part of the after-school program at Hyannis West Elementary School, on Cape Cod, MyFoxBoston.com reported.

A few days ago, his parents received a letter that said the boy has received his first written warning for using toys inappropriately, and that upon a second written warning, he will be suspended from the program for two weeks. The principal of Hyannis West Elementary told MyFoxBoston.com, “we need a safe environment for our students. While someone might think that making a Lego gun is just an action of a 5-year-old, to other 5-year-olds, that might be a scary experience.”
