The state of New Jersey has threatened to take a son away from his parents and place him up for adoption after an incident where the boy twirled a pencil like a gun in class.
13-year-old Ethan Chaplin was initially threatened with suspension when a classmate stated Ethan had ‘twirled his pencil like a gun’. After receiving media attention the school backed off.
However, after the incident seemed to cool off, the family received a letter from the “New Jersey’s Department of Child Protection and Permanency and Department of Children and Families”.
“I received a letter from them saying they had found an incident of abuse or neglect regarding Ethan because I refused to take him for psychological evaluation,” the father stated.
To appease the state and end the insanity the father took Ethan in to see a social worker, where blood and urine were drawn and no behavioral problem was found.
But the state was still not happy and demanded more testing – threatening this time to take the child and place him up for adoption.

Our government from the cities on up are getting so ridiculous it is definitely not funny – we need to fire all of them and start over and repeal all the unconstitutional laws they are putting in place – it has to start somewhere so see what your city has started enacting as laws and stop them NOW
