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.

He should claim to be Gay, and say he was practicing; twirling a baton. Then he’ll get special treatment!
How the hell do you twirl a pencil like a gun????
When I was in school I could take a pencil or a quarter and go from one finger to another. It was fun. I also could stack quarters on my forearm and snap it and catch them all. What would that be called today? Practicing a quick draw. Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.
Has the schools gone completely crazy!!!
Youi mean like drum stick’s.. STUPID $#%&!@*ING SHEEP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PEOPLE NEED TO MIND THEIR OWN BUSSINESS
What’s next in jersey, background checks for pencil buyers, register to by pencils plus an annual fee to purchase, purchase limit of one a month, and definitely no concealed carry of a pencil ???
These state and city agencies are the ones that are full of nuts.
when did congress repeal the second amendment /
He twirled it like a baton as a band major would. Who is the paranoid that sees pencils as guns ?
