Two Ocala Children Charged With Felonies Over Violent Drawings
OCALA, Fla. (AP) - Two boys, ages 9 and 10, were charged with felonies and taken away from school in handcuffs, accused of making violent drawings of stick figures.
The boys were charged with making a written threat to kill or harm another person, a second-degree felony.
The special education students used pencil and red crayon to draw primitive stick figure scenes on scrap paper that showed a 10-year-old classmate being stabbed and hung, police said.

“The officer found they were drawing these pictures for the sole purpose of intimidating and scaring the victim,” said Ocala Police Sgt. Russ Kern.
The boy depicted in the drawings told his teacher, who took the sketches and contacted the school dean, Marty Clifford. Clifford called police, who arrested the boys after consulting with the State Attorney’s Office.
