“An 8-year-old Florida boy was suspended from school for pretending to use his finger as a gun. Bonnie Bennett told WKMG-TV that her son was suspended Friday from Harmony Community School in Osceola County after playing cops and robbers with another student. ‘There was nothing in his hand,’ Bennett said. ‘He used his thumb and index finger. It was a game. He made no threatening advances or threats to harm anyone. No words were said.’ Bennett said she wouldn’t have been upset if the boy had been punished some other way, but she’s concerned that the suspension will cause her son to be classified as a ‘violent offender.'”
