A ten year old student in Marion County was arrested on Thursday, charged with possession of a weapon on school premises. Police said that school officials had found the girl cutting food during lunch using a knife that she had brought from home.

Even though other students said that the youngster had not threatened anybody with the knife, she was arrested and taken to the Juvenile Assessment Center.

They should assess the child as being a cut above the rest, recognizing that knives are tools, not weapons.
