When you think of being in the first grade, you think of sweet, innocent little tots learning to read, spell and count, coloring adorable pictures, making cute remarks and skipping around during recess.
I guess things have changed, however, if what happened recently in a Pembroke Pines, Florida elementary school is any indication.
Allegedly, a 7-year-year did a shakedown of a fellow first-grader by robbing him in the school restroom, as he held a knife to the poor tyke's nose.

His take? One buck.
It seems that the little thug-in-training got the weapon he used in his mini-robbery from home. One can only speculate what other kind of things he must have been learning at home.
The tiny victim of the crime told his mom what happened and she reported it school authorities. They suspended the wee perpetrator for 10 days and the likelihood is that he will be put in an "alternative" school.
Oh, great. Now, he can be negatively influenced by older kids who are even worse than he is! This kid needs serious help!
It hasn't been decided whether or not he will be charged with a criminal offense.
Man what is in that water in Florida?
