Wow, arrested for doodling on a desk, she shouldn't get arrested, everyone has to doodle sometime you know! Why didn't they just send her to ISS (detention) or something?

A 12 year old girl arrested for doodling on her desk. This is horrible she shouldn'tgrrrrrrrr have been arrested it would have just washed off anyways. This is so unnecessary to do especially handcuffing her and taking her out of school! This is so unfair all she should have gotten was a warning and maybe a detention but this shouldn't have happened and I don't think it will again!

The article is "12 Year Old Girl Arrested for Doodling on Desk". The author was explaining about how the girl isn't suspended anymore, but the Principal doesn't seem to be remorseful on calling the cops on a twelve year old girl. I think that the punishment was way to harsh. It's okay to discipline a student, and drawing on desks does qualify as vandalism, but for a twelve year old, it is really extreme. Her drawings were harmless really. This isn't a cause for getting arrested. No matter how long it's been going on. If the problem had been a continued problem then they could find another way to discipline. In fact, to me, this article doesn't prove to me that the school is very strict, just that the teachers don't know the right way to discipline their students. All in all, even though the girl was doing the wrong thing by drawing on the desk, the punishment was too severe.

In the article, "12 year old girl gets arrested for doodling on desk" I realized that I am so lucky to live in a community where the principle of my school doesn't feel it necessary to call the police when someone doodles on a desk. Obviously there have been incidents where writing on a desk has been a problem. Still, i think that that is not fair to jump to a bad conclusion about what she wrote on the desk. I also think that they exaggerated way to much. If she wanted to write 'I LOVE MY FRIENDS' they should have at most given her a detention for writing on the desk by a call to the police and a suspension was way to much.

I agree with Miora. This was a complete overreaction. It's not good to deface public, or private, property, but you have to handle it in a mature manner. Something that will have a positive affect, not gettting more people angry, which this did.

In this article a 12 year old girl was arrested for doodling on her desk. She was arrested! That doesn’t make sense in my mind. Why would the principle feel so strongly about writing on desks? The marker would have washed off anyway, but my biggest question is, how do the NYPD go and arrested a little girl for drawing? That would just be humiliating, as a police officer. Also, is that kid going to have a criminal record now? Because that wont help her to get a job. I know if that happened to me I would be so mad!
