12 Year old Felon

I think this is utterly stupid....

12-Year-Old Felon

A Colorado seventh-grader is being charged with felony ethnic intimidation because he got into a shoving match with a student who was harassing him in Spanish, reports the Craig Daily Press.

Austin Sadvar, 12, is being prosecuted for a shoving match that occurred between him and another sixth-grader at Craig Elementary School.

Following the fight, when he was asked to write a written statement about the incident by counselors, he wrote, "Maybe now he'll start speaking some English," according to his mother.

The first District Attorney to get the case dropped the ethnic intimidation charge, but another who recently took over the case, Bonnie Roesink, 14th Judicial Circuit District Attorney, revived it.

The trial is set for Nov. 15.

The other student involved in the spat has since moved out of the country

It's sad, but I'm sure this kid picked this up from his parents. The parents should be equally as responsible for his behavior.
