LAS VEGAS, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- A Las Vegas woman says her 7-year-old son was suspended when he and his father turned over ammunition the boy had been given by another child.
Sabrina Palafox told KLAS-TV the other boy, also a student at Ruthe Deskin Elementary School, warned her son not to talk about the ammunition. But she says her son did the right thing, showing her the bullets when he got home from school Monday.
Her son was suspended Tuesday morning for carrying dangerous objects on the school bus.
"He shouldn't have accepted the bullets, but where is the 'good job' at? You did a good job telling your parent," Palafox said. "Now we know, because the school, the principal, the assistant principal, the bus driver, none of them had a clue what was going on".
Officials in the Clark County School District told KLAS it is district policy to suspend students while an incident is under investigation even if they are found not to be at fault. Palafox said there will be a parent-teacher conference next week.
