An Alabama mother is furious that her 5-year-old daughter
was forced to sign a school contract stating she wouldn't kill herself or
anyone else at school.
School officials told Rebecca, who did not want to give her
last name, they had to send 5-year-old Elizabeth home after an incident in
class.
"They told me she drew something that resembled a gun.
According to them she pointed a crayon at another student and said 'pew pew',"
Rebecca explained.
Rebecca says her daughter was then given a questionnaire to
evaluate her for suicidal thoughts and given a Mobile County Public School
safety contract to sign stating she wouldn't kill herself or others.
"While I was in the lobby waiting, they had my
5-year-old sign a contract about suicide and homicide," Rebecca says.
"There should be a different way to handle this situation. If this is
protocol it needs to be looked at again."
Rebecca is pushing to have the incident removed from her
child's record. She says school officials have requested her child see a
psychiatrist. She refused.
