QuoteAiden and his family had gone to see The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies the weekend before, and the father says his son was innocently making-believe. "Kids act out movies that they see. When I watched Superman as a kid, I went outside and tried to fly," Steward says, adding, "I assure you my son lacks the magical powers necessary to threaten his friend's existence. If he did, I'm sure he'd bring him right back."

But principal Roxanne Greer didn't see the charm in Aiden's supernatural pretending and issued disciplinary action. The father says Greer told him that threats to another child's safety would not be tolerated, even if they were make believe.

...the principal was within her rights to issue the leave if she believed Aiden's classmate's "emotional health" was harmed.

Be careful out there folks.  You never know when you might get something negative aimed at you.

That reminds me of the time I played Isaac in a church play and the [expletive deleted] idiot who played Abraham nearly stabbed me for real with the knife.  :buggedout: :buggedout:

This kid may well be onto something with the promises of wielding fantasy weapons.  Just think how in future years that could enhance his success with the ladies!

I'm going to send the ring wraiths after that principal!

SHHHHH! Uttering threats on the internet?  Good heavens, man! Are you mad?  They'll be coming after you next!
