5-Year-Old Cape Cod Student Could be Suspended for Making Lego Gun
A five-year-old Hyannis elementary school student could face suspension after making a lego gun during an after school program. What do you think? Does the punishment fit the crime?
The Hyannis West Elementary after school program sent a letter home to Joseph Cardosa’s parents last week explaining that Cardosa had used toys inappropriately during the program, according to FOX 25. The letter also stated that if Cardosa received a second warning he would be suspended from the after school care program for two weeks.
