(Oklahoma City, OK) - Your mom said it isn't polite to point but a seven year old Oklahoma City area boy got more than a scolding for doing it. Lydia Riley says her son was suspended for one day last week from a Mid-Del district school because he acted like his finger was a gun and pretended to shoot a wall.
Riley says she got a call from the Parkview Elementary principal to let her know what had happened. She says she was told that type of behavior can't be tolerated in this day and age and that her son would be suspended for three days if he did it again.
Riley calls the punishment ridiculous. She says the kids were told not to play that way at the beginning of the year but she doubts a seven year old has the cognitive ability to distinguish between what play is or is not appropriate.
