Mobile, Alabama just pegged a crayon-wielding kindergartener as homicidal/suicidal manic. See if you can pass the test she had to take.
Yes, this is real. The 5-year-old, identified only as Elizabeth, is said to have drawn a picture resembling a gun before picking up the deadly crayon and going pew! pew! which, in America, could mean that shes a homicidal maniac!
The girl was then forced to sign a contract declaring that she pinky-promises not to kill herself or her classmates.

When one looks at school security, they certainly have a lot of lessons to learn.
