There is a lot of pressure on schools to prevent things like what happened at Virginia Tech. I'm not sure I agree with taking the kids to juvenile court based solely on writing the names. Writing the names may express desire, but it doesn't express intent. Maybe there's more going on than what we've been told.

Not to say that it isn't creepy behaviour, but that's for their parents or teachers to deal with, not the police. Yeah, this is a massive overreaction.

Yeah, it's a toy that "kills" people, but there's no actualy threat and everyone knows it, so it's all just play. This is new, so people think it is weird, but it's really the same thing.
