Red face Girl, 10, Cuffed for Scissors in School

PHILADELPHIA - A 10-year-old girl was placed in handcuffs and taken to a police station because she took a pair of scissors to her elementary school.

School district officials said the fourth-grade student did not threaten anyone with the 8-inch shears, but violated a rule that considers scissors to be potential weapons.

Administrators said they were following state law when they called police Thursday, and police said they were following department rules when they handcuffed Porsche Brown and took her away in a patrol wagon.

The rest of this article is here: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...cissors_arrest

============================

This is nuts. The only crime, on the side of the girl, was that she was named after a car. The police undermined their ability to be effective with a community, by injuring their own credibility with this absurd act.
