4-year-old boy brings bullet casing to preschool, gets suspended for 7 days. Yes, it gets worse.
It seems Hunter Crowe, every bit a 4-year-old American boy, had been causing trouble — at preschool.
For the adults at A Place 2 Grow Child Care and Learning Center in Troy, Illinois, the main sticking point is that Hunter had been continuing to “make guns out of other toys,” according to a letter from the preschool to his father and his mother Kristy Jackson.
In fact, the letter says, Hunter had been told that “guns, hunting, etc., are not subjects that are to be discussed at school.” And despite “multiple attempts to redirect” his “behaviors” toward “other activities,” Hunter kept up his gun play.
The deed that sealed the 4-year-old’s fate, however, seemed a lot more serious — at first.
On Tuesday afternoon, Jackson arrived at A Place 2 Grow to pick up Hunter, but she told KTVI-TV she instead “was met with a stone-faced teacher who said that my son had a shotgun bullet. I was horrified thinking, ‘Where could he have gotten this?’ ”
