A group of fifth-grade students were arrested last fall over an alleged plot to murder a fellow student after being overheard discussing their plans, according to a newly released police report.

Four students at the Legacy Traditional School in Surprise, Arizona, were accused of planning to fatally stab a fellow fifth grade student and forge a suicide note to make it appear self-inflicted, according to the police report. A parent alerted the school of the plot on Oct. 1, 2024, after their child overheard the group talking about it.

The students and their parents were instructed to come back to the school the following morning for the school's investigation, per the report.

Through the investigation, it was found that one of the accused students, a girl, was allegedly in a "relationship" with the victim, a boy, who had cheated on her, according to the report. The girl hated him and wanted him dead, the report said.

During a lunch on Oct. 1, 2024, the students were involved in a conversation on how to "end him," the report said. According to interviews with the suspects, the plan involved allegedly luring the boy to a bathroom and stabbing him in the stomach.

They would wear gloves so as not to leave behind fingerprints and forge a suicide note, the report said.

This is why some boys end up boning other boys up the butt.

Awww!!!

It saddens me that the last several generations will never know the feeling of a crush, the butterflies in your stomach, the hope and daydreams of a love you have for someone.

No holding hands, no wanting to hold off of intimate relations so true love can blossom, no civility nor chilvary...

I believe it all started with Bill Clinton when he insisted that oral sex wasn’t sex, giving CHILDREN the wrong idea on intimacy, completely destroying it.

Little girls start developing in the single digit ages now - there were only a few in my class that had developed in any way and they were minority girls so maybe diet?

Many kids about that age are put on amphetamines for various disorders those stimulants can heighten rage and violent tendencies.adjusting the dose takes time and attentive parenting.I doubt most parents realize how disastrous amphetamines can be you really need to watch your drugged child 24-7 when you go that route.

I also set fire to plastic model airplanes and let them drip fire on ant hills. Oh, those were the days! Kids of today don’t have such adventures.
