The parents who told this story mentioned that one day the teacher called them and said they had to come to the school for an important discussion.
The next day, we went in, and his teacher showed us the drawing. She said, “I asked him to draw his family, and this is what he made. Can you explain it?” The dad posted this on his social media.
The picture showed what seemed to be four people with ropes around their necks. Honestly, if someone didn’t understand what the boy was trying to create, the drawing could definitely look pretty scary.
The mom and dad explained that the photo actually showed the family snorkeling off the Bahamas.
The dad’s post started a big conversation online about whether the teacher was right to be worried about the drawing or not.
Some people thought she should have talked to the child before making a decision, but others believed that a six-year-old might not be telling the truth at all.
“This is bloody hysteria,” one person wrote. “Seriously, who needs that drama.”
“An emergency meeting about this? I get that my drawing isn’t perfect, but I believe it’s pretty understandable…” another user commented.
“What kind of teacher was this?” another wondered. “Children are innocent… they take pleasure from innocent drawings.”
People who supported the teacher’s response said things like, “I would want to be informed, even if it turns out to be nothing… it’s always better to be cautious,” and “The teacher made the right choice. These actions have actually saved lives. No joke.”
