Default Kid transfered because of map - 05-02-2007, 09:03 PM

This article is getting picked up [url=http://news.google.com/news?ncl=1115957401:a200e]by a few papers[/url:a200e]. A high school senior made a counter-strike map that resembled his school and because of that and having a hammer (a weapon) in his bed room he is being force to transferred to an alternative education center and can't go to the graduation celebration.

While I can see why the school is concerned about a student making a map of the school for cs I don't think their reaction was the right one. I think that instead of sending the police to his house and sending him to a different school they should have sent him to a school/outside therapist to see if the kid is ok and react according to that. While I know most of us will side more with the student as we are all gamers what does every one else think about this?

so far the best article I have seen about it is http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/05/cou ... ike_m.html
