A seven-year-old child was suspended from his elementary school after making a seemingly harmless gesture many see everyday. Meet the little boy and see exactly what he did.
Patrick Riley was simply trying to distract himself during an assembly at his school. The first grade student formed a gun with his hand and pretended to shoot the wall with a fellow student. That's when he was asked to go home.
'Him and a little girl were just getting bored at an assembly and doing some target practice at the wall,' Lydia Fox, Patrick's mother, explained.
The school disagreed with Fox's interpretation and issued a statement regarding Patrick's misbehavior.
'A student has repeatedly used his hands to simulate a gun and act as if is shooting fellow students,' Parkview Elementary clarified.
After a meeting with school officials, Fox says that they 'agreed to disagree.'
Was Patrick's hand 'gun' harmless or did the school act accordingly?
