Girl, 5, Suspended in Hello Kitty Threat

Pennsylvania girl, 5, suspended for threatening to shoot girl with pink toy gun that blows soapy bubbles
A 5-year-old Pennsylvania girl who told another girl she was going to shoot her with a pink Hello Kitty toy gun that blows soapy bubbles has been suspended from kindergarten.
Her family has hired an attorney to fight the punishment, which initially was 10 days for issuing a ‘terroristic threat.’ But her punishment was reduced to two days after her mother met with school officials and had the incident dropped to ‘threatening to harm another student,’ which apparently carries a lesser punishment.
“It’s laughable,” Robin Ficker, the girl’s attorney told FoxNews.com. “This is a girl who had no idea about killing or what happened in Connecticut.”
He was referring to the recent shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School that claimed 26 lives.
Ficker says Mount Carmel Area School District officials said the girl made the threat on Jan. 10 as she waited for a school bus with friends. A school official overheard the remark and searched the girl’s backpack and did not find the Hello Kitty gun.
The next day, the girls involved were ‘interrogated’ by school officials, Ficker said. By the time the girl was done speaking to administrators about the incident, she was crying, he said.
He called her “the least terroristic person in Pennsylvania.”
“What parent that you know would want their 5-year-old questioned about making terroristic threats without them in the room?” Ficker asked.
School district solicitor Edward Greco tells pennlive.com officials are looking into the case. He said Friday school officials aren’t at liberty to discuss disciplinary actions.
Ficker said he has scheduled a meeting with a lawyer from the school board later this month to have the girl’s record expunged.
