Since when did school officials become the police and six-year-olds criminals? Apparently in July when school officials and subsequently (two days later) a security guard handcuffed a student for misbehaving.

Python found in empty locker
While collecting abandoned textbooks and cleaning up the messes left by high school students, a janitor, Ed Reardon, came upon one locker that had a python in it.
