An 11-year-old boy was perp walked into a Florida jail after he allegedly wrote a 'kill list' targeting others at his school.

Karson Curry was marched into a cell on Monday after he threatened Highbanks Learning Center in Deltona, the Volusia County sheriff said.

The boy, whose arms were handcuffed behind his back, hung his head down as he was led from a deputy's cruiser and into the station.

Police determined Curry does not have access to weapons, but still moved to make an example out of him.

He now faces a felony charge of making a written threat to kill.

Volusia County Sheriff Michael Chitwood has a history of perp walking children who threatened their schools and seemingly has no intention of stopping.

At least eight children, including three 11-year-olds, were arrested and publicly shamed by the department with an online perp walk in the last two months.

Sheriff Chitwood hopes the public displays of discipline will 'stress to students and parents that these types of threats will result in felony charges,' the department said.

Curry is a student at Highbanks Learning Center, an educational program which provides learning services in a 'highly restrictive' environment to select students in grades six through 12.

The program places an emphasis on modifying behavior and social skills, according to the county school district's website.

Students are assigned to the learning center by district officials and superintendents based on their individual educational needs.

I’m not 100% convinced seriously bad traits can’t be genetic but I’m not convinced
Generally egregious child behavior is learned or the result of trauma

I’m kind of an expert

You’re saying it’s not likely an extra credit project for his creative writing class?

[wardaddy]

Bullies and alienation and ridicule sure seem to provoke kids who shoot up their schools in revenge

I always warned my sons two of whom are good with their hands and one likes the taste of his own blood lol

Not to bully or pick on the victim class in school

Either try to defend them or at least put the brakes on it

Cause if one bugs out with the AR and duster maybe they will remember you tried to stop the bullshit

I don’t believe in picking on the weak

And I’m large and used to could do ok

But honestly I was no badass

My best victories were when I was terrified and had no choice but to fight

They never learn. How many people have been arrested for making such lists? SMH...I think he probably did it for the attention.

And I have found that most school shooters actually were the bullies.

They were upset that their little jokes of pushing people down stairs and playful kicks to the head did not result in people flocking around to worship their awesome wonderfulness but instead made people avoid their company.

Which to them meant they were being "bullied".

You think I am joking?

Since you ask ...

No.

I know the education system ... particularly the government education system ... really is that screwed up.

Lobotomy may be the best solution for these mentally disturbed youths before they kill or seriously injure innocent people.

Those bloody halloween costumes worn by the math teachers were awful. To make it worse the school is claiming it wasn’t about Charliehe Kirk. They are lying and saying it was a math joke. They are evil and they are liars.

[Z28.310]

I’m not seeing the problem...

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

What they do, especially with students that actually need help, is quite insane.

Most people have no idea and if they have some they think, well our public school is different.

No. It isn't.

And the kids are not all right.

When I was growing up the age of reason was about 12 but then again we did not have violent tv shows, video games or the internet. Now kids have lost their innocence by age 5 and curse like sailors when they go to Kindergarten.

[maddog55]

I’m all for it...I’d have them spend a few weeks in jail, no cell phone, TV or books or anything just shitty food 3 times a day. Scare the shxt out of them.
