Rules are rules I guess, and there is no doubt that kids of that age should not have knives....but whatever happened to the good old fashioned slap on the wrists? Oh, that's right you can't even touch a child these days.
Oh I should have stressed, he took it to school so he could eat with it in the canteen, just an entirely innocent six year old boy who had been on a camping trip and wanted to use his new camping knife/fork/spoon combo.

The thing is though I guess there probably is some 6 year old kid in America who would take it school and kill someone with it, such is the fucked up world we live in.....
