A Wisconsin parent says his 12-year-old son was suspended and charged with disorderly conduct after making a joke to a teacher that was misread as a threat. The parent, who posted under the username WeekExpress9800 on Reddit’s r/legaladvice forum, said the incident occurred shortly after he gained full custody of his son.
According to the Reddit post, the boy was in the school library when his teacher told him he could do whatever he wanted after reading hour ended. The boy responded, “Like what, make explosives?” The parent claimed the school removed the boy from class immediately afterward, searched his belongings, and questioned him without a parent present.
