Porsche Brown, a 10-year-old in the fourth grade at Holme Elementary School in Philadelphia ''was pulled out of class, handcuffed, and taken to the local police station in the back of a police wagon [last] week after a pair of 8-inch scissors were found in her book bag,'' the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
''School district officials acknowledged that the girl was not using the item as a weapon or threatening anyone with it,'' the paper notes, and cops ''decided not to charge her with a crime because they determined that she had no intent to use the scissors as a weapon.'' Nonetheless, the school suspended her for five days ''and the district will then decide whether to expel her to a disciplinary school or allow her to return to Holme.''
