7-Year-Old Punished for Bringing Toy Water Gun to School

A second grade student in Portsmouth, Virginia, is facing a harsh punishment after bringing a toy water gun to school. Josiah Green, 7, was suspended for 10 days in May after he was caught with both a water gun and a Nerf gun in class. The school board said that it is now mulling expulsion for the child. “I was emotional and shocked. I understand that he’s suspended, but now you’re throwing that he could be expelled on the table,” said the boy’s mother, Audreyann Davis.
