Georgia Third Graders don't play: Murder plot uncovered

By M&C Bizarre Apr 1, 2008, 15:28 GMT

Things are tough in Waycross Georgia, just ask the teachers.

An elementary school murder plot has been uncovered. Nine third grade students suspended at Center Elementary in Waycross for an alleged plot to attack their teacher.

"This plot was uncovered at the point that something dangerous was brought to the school," says Lt. Dwayne Caswell with Waycross Police.


Police say the students planned to harm their teacher Friday morning. They even brought potential weapons from home to carry out the plan.

"They had a broken steak knife, a crystal paper weight, toy handcuffs, several items and tape and stuff," says Lt. Caswell.

First Coast News reports that Ware County School officials say a classmate told the principal about one of the students bringing a weapon to school. The discovery was later made that more students were in on the plot. The school says they are coming down hard on the delinquents.

"Some might say 'They were young and in the third grade and how serious could it be?', but anytime our students' safety or our teachers' safety is compromised we obviously have to take that very seriously," says Theresa Martin with Ware County Schools.

"We continue to do what we always do which is work to make our students aware that this is not appropriate and we ask our parents to help us. The whole saying that it takes a village to raise a child is very appropriate at this time," says Martin.

Police say no criminal charges will be brought forth against the students. The District Attorney is handling the case and students will most likely face juvenile charges of Unruly Child.

Weapons and tools?

Some analysis and details?
Murder Plot at Center Elementary in Georgia: 3rd Graders vs. Experts
By Jon Shanks

What would we do without experts? A plot was unveiled by police acting on a tip that some very young 3rd grade students from Center Elementary in Waycross, Georgia were plotting to kill their teacher. They had a detailed plan, each student would have a particular chore in the attack, and they had gathered the items necessary to carry out the horrific plot.

Students brought a crystal paperweight to crack into the skull of the teacher and one was supposed to cover the window with paper to keep prying eyes of witnesses out. Police also say that they recovered steak knife with a broken handle, steel handcuffs and other items that were to be used in the plan.

Now here come the experts. A bunch of physiatrists are chiming in and saying that even though the plan was thought out very well and the kids had the tools, they would likely not have fallowed through with the attack. Are they kidding? Nope.

An article from the Associated press cites Dr. Louis Kraus, a child psychiatry expert at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago and he says that the kids may have started the attacks but likely would have never completed it. "The reality is it is highly unlikely they would have been successful at this," Kraus said. "Even if it had begun, it's unclear whether they actually would have followed through with it."

Thanks for playing doctor. If you were a teacher would you bet your life on this doctor's analysis? The reactions to this have been mostly shock and many have wondered what exactly these kids parents have been doing while raising their kids, but other than a few "experts" that have never even treated these kids, few are saying that they don't believe they would have gone through with the plot.
 
"They had a broken steak knife, a crystal paper weight, toy handcuffs, several items and tape and stuff," says Lt. Caswell.

No murder plot, those are the ingredients to open up a wormhole portal to Planet XBOX.


But seriously, Id like to know the motives. This teacher must be a real rat bastard to have that many students want to kill him/her.
 
Yeah, I heard about this a week or two ago.

Pretty damn stupid and all that. Third graders and their murder plots. Yep.

Apparently the teacher had chastised one of them for something and they went psychotic about it. I read it in another article for the same story, shouldn't be too hard to find WITH THE MAGIC OF GOOGLE.
 
Well, you have to realize that this school is in America, and in Georgia no less...
 
12 year olds stealing cars, now this, makes you wonder what's happening to kids, oh I know, experts!

I didn't like them at times as a kid, but I sure as hell never thought of jackknifing my teachers, part of it due to my parents disciplinary methods, but also because I was never taught it was OK to jackknife a teacher!

Kids these days...
 
Move them to China. Inner Mongolia sounds good.

Any child that is so emotionally inept that he/she needs to communicate through violence probably doesn't need detention or time out, he/she needs hard labor. I.E. A Mongolian sheep farm.

Could also be that the kid is a lazy rat bastard and doesn't do his/her homework and whines when the teacher chastises them for not doing their homework.
 
Don't know what's the Kids' problem =>

That's exactly why I am moving to France.
 
I don't suppose that the problem is people expect their kids to grow up too fast?

Chances are if they had more time to develop they wouldn't have messed up and gotten caught. Their criminal parents should be ashamed of themselves.

You know, in France it used to be really strict at school. The teacher was very respected... but since 1968 and what we could call a "cultural evolution", things are quite different... Before the teacher wouldn't have hesitated to give you a slap and the parents used to say that the kid diserved it. Now, if a kid get slaped, the teacher's career is over... besides, there are some punition which are forbidden now (like Bart Simpson writing on the board)

... so, why would we ask ourselves why there are more & more stabbed teachers? Parents are becoming a bunch of pussies. Teach yar kids what is RESPECT. or play them some Aretha.
 
The plot was rather elaborate- with designated lookouts. One of the students I think was to bonk her on the head with a crystal paperweight or something and then the others would stab her to death.

Wonder where they came up with these ideas- a rather strange murder fantasy.
 
Kids these days. I blame it all on education, kids should be made to understand that murder is something that only grownupps do.

Im sorry, but it's self-defense. They're aware that we, grown-ups can kill them... so they take some advance stabbing us with steack knifes : better to prevent than to cure I guess.
 
I blame dumb ass parents letting their kids play games like GTA, Watch R rated movies, and listening to explicate music without first maybe sitting down with them and explaining that in the real world there are consequence and dead bodies don't just disappear. I mean lets say they did go througth with it, then what stick the body in the closet? I was a camp counselor a few years ago and i had this little hooligan break a bottle and pull broken glass on me. I was bored and hungover so I kinda just laughed and asked "Okay then what?" his grin dropped and he ran off to play basketball.
 
Don't trust anyone over twelve!

Seriously. I'm surprised at the bs my mother gets from her students at BYU. A religious university where you can't wear a beard without license. Her students act like they are entitled to the stuff they get and when they don't they give her all sorts of shit.
