A 5-year-old girl was suspended from school earlier this week after she
made what the school called a "terrorist threat."
Her weapon of choice? A small, Hello Kitty automatic bubble blower.
The kindergartner, who attends Mount Carmel Area Elementary School in
Pennsylvania, caught administrators' attention after suggesting she and a
classmate should shoot each other with bubbles.
"I think people know how harmless a bubble is. It doesn't hurt," said Robin
Ficker, an attorney for the girl's family. According to Ficker, the girl,
whose identity has not been released, didn't even have the bubble gun toy
with her at school.
The kindergartner was ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation during
her 10-day suspension, which was later reduced to two days. The evaluation
deemed the girl normal and not a threat to others, Ficker said.
The girl's family is considering a lawsuit against the school to get the
blemish - all because of bubbles - off their daughter's record.
"The mother has tried to get the girl in another school since this time, and
they won't take the little girl because of this mark on her record," Ficker
said.
The suspension comes one month after the Sandy Hook Elementary School
massacre, which has created a heightened sense of alert at schools across
the country.
The Mount Carmel Area School District told ABC News, "We are confident that
much of the information supplied to the media may not be consistent with the
facts… The Mount Carmel Area School District takes the well-being and
safety of students and staff very seriously."
