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.

This is dum.If the boy real had a problem,they would be making him more ap to be emotionaly unstable by taking him away from his family.It sounds like he was just playing.
Another reason to homeschool.
If NJ threaten to take my son,it would be worse then for them ,then the storm Sandy they throught that storm was bad and destructive.
ANOTHER “STUPID” STATE SCHOOL SYSTEM “MAD”

These schools and teachers are out of control and like our govenment if parents don’t start standing up to these so call idiot liberal educators your children will pay for it in the future. They will be as dumb as them and nothing but zombies/robots.
