Flouting School Rules

A six year old boy is in trouble over carrying a camping knife to school. I wonder whether a camping knife like that should be handled by a child who is only 6 years old. Forget hurting others, he might hurt himself with it. Its not he who should go to reform school but his parents who see nothing wrong with it. Sending a small kid like that for 45 days to a reform school is a bit too much. Someone really did not like him.
