NOVEMBER 21--A 12-year-old Florida student was arrested earlier this month after he "deliberately passed gas to disrupt the class," according to police. The child, who was also accused of shutting off the computers of classmates at Stuart's Spectrum Jr./Sr. High School, was busted November 4 for disruption of a school function. A Martin County Sheriff's Office report, a copy of which you'll find below, notes that the 4' 11" offender admitted that he "continually disrupted his classroom environment by breaking wind and shutting off several computers."

Yeah and the one time the kid gets past security with his semi automatic we have a Columbine... Kids are just so unpredictable these days and they so difficult to read/understand. I would be inclined to ban plastic cutlery too before we really have a tragic mass stabbing on our hands...

Perhaps he wasn't actually arrested but rather had something fitted to "arrest" the farts? Gas tight underpants!

How can you be arrested for farting? That's a "blow" below the belt!
 
A few years back, we would have gotten a bloody good hiding and that would be the end of it. Nowaday it would be an infringement of the kid's human rights. Rather arrest him/her and end up in court instead... Life is becoming way too complicated these days.
 
It is a bit harsh but I remember when I was in grade 7/8. Some kids had absolutely no respect and I'd have loved to see them arrested :p
