11-Year-Old Arrested for Gun, Marijuana

(Longwood, Florida) An 11-year-old boy was sent to the principal's office at Woodlands Elementary School after another student said he had brought marijuana to school. Police later found an unloaded handgun in his book bag.

The boy's parents weren't notified until after the boy was arrested.

Interestingly, local reporting of the incident has included the boy's name and picture. I don't understand what the local media are thinking. He's just a child. Police and the media should check out the parents. They must share some culpability.
