    • School Calls Cops on 11-Year-Old after Seeing BB Gun in Virtual Class

    By on June 16, 2020

    According to WBFF-TV, a police officer visited the home of the fifth-grader following the incident.

    Courtney Lancaster, the child’s mother and a Navy veteran, told the station that the child is in the process of becoming an Eagle Scout and is enrolled in Baltimore County Schools.

    “[An officer] explained to me that he was here to search for weapons, in my home,” Lancaster said.

    Lancaster told WBFF that the school’s principal complained that the child having a BB gun in his room was like bringing a gun to school.

    “This is despicable,” Lancaster said. “I had no idea what in the world [the police visit] could be over? BB guns never even once entered my mind.

    How many 11-year-old boys have BB guns?”

    So, what are the parameters?

    Where are the lines drawn?

    If my son is sitting at the kitchen island next to a butcher block, does that constitute a weapon? It’s not allowed at school, right?

    So, would my home then be searched because he’s sitting next to a butcher block.

    I feel like parents need to be made aware of what the implications are, what the expectations are.
