Student Arrested For Doodling On School Desk

Baack · Feb 5, 2010

NEW YORK -- A New York City junior high student has been arrested for doodling on her desk with a marker.

Twelve-year-old Alexa Gonzalez scribbled "Lex was here 2/1/10" on her desk Monday at Junior High School 190 in Queens. She also wrote "I love my friends Abby and Faith." The girl says the doodles could have been erased.

Moraima Camacho says her daughter was released several hours after she was taken in handcuffs to a police station.

Education department spokesman David Cantor said the incident shouldn't have happened, and that common sense should prevail.

Last month, the New York Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit alleging more than 20 instances of wrongful arrests and assaults by school safety officers.

Heck. I spent about a year 'conversing' with someone on my desk in History class in the 8th grade. It wasn't until near the start of Summer that I realized it was a friend of mine. We got a good chuckle out of that.

Wow... wonder if I could get away with murder, too?

NEW YORK - A 12-year-old girl who was hauled out of her New York City school in handcuffs for doodling on her desk has started legal action against the city over her arrest.
A lawyer for Alexa Gonzalez filed legal papers seeking $1 million in damages, saying the Queens girl was subjected to overly harsh treatment.

Alexa was arrested at her junior high school in February after scribbling "I love my friends Abby and Faith" on her desk with an erasable marker.
Her family's lawyer says school officials overreacted by calling the police.
The Department of Education acknowledges the arrest was a mistake. The city's legal department has declined to comment on the lawsuit.

A million (tax-payer) bucks?
Why worry about a measly million bucks?
Plenty more where that came from.

And here we thought kids sellin' drugs at school was a serious crime.
Book 'er, Dan'l.
Dang kids!
When will they learn not to be kids?
