4th Grader Suspended For Lord of the Rings Magic

It sounds bad, but I'm wondering if there's another side to this story that somehow makes sense. According to Yahoo, the child has previously been suspended for other offenses that don't sound like they should be offenses.



As usual, the school can't comment because of privacy issues.

A 9-year-old boy who boasted to a classmate that he could make him vanish has disappeared himself – from school. Kermit, Texas fourth grader Aiden Steward was suspended from his elementary school on Friday, one day after making the alleged “terroristic threat,” as the Odessa American describes it, of promising another child he’d render him invisible with his fictional “one ring” from the J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy series The Lord of the Rings. “It sounded unbelievable,” dad Jason Steward tells the New York Daily News, maintaining that his son “didn’t mean anything by it.”
