Man shocked by arrest after daughter draws picture of gun at school

KITCHENER — A Kitchener father is upset that police arrested him at his children’s’ school Wednesday, hauled him down to the station and strip-searched him, all because his four-year-old daughter drew a picture of a gun at school.

“I’m picking up my kids and then, next thing you know, I’m locked up,” Jessie Sansone, 26, said Thursday.

“I was in shock. This is completely insane. My daughter drew a gun on a piece of paper at school.”

The school principal, police and child welfare officials, however, all stand by their actions. They said they had to investigate to determine whether there was a gun in Sansone’s house that children had access to.

“From a public safety point of view, any child drawing a picture of guns and saying there’s guns in a home would warrant some further conversation with the parents and child,” said Alison Scott, executive director of Family and Children’s Services.

“We’re educated,’’ he said. “I’m a certified PSW (personal support worker) and a life issues counsellor. I go into schools to try to make a difference.’’

When they came for the educated Personal Support Workers and Life Issues Consellors, I kept my mouth shut because I wasn't an educated Personal Support Worker and Life Issue Counsellor.

Sorry. The story's horrifying, but I can't help but wonder if this guy, prior to this, hadn't supported the Canadian government's draconian anti-gun mentality. I'm stereotyping. Maybe, he didn't. Either way, it's frightening.

I don’t understand why it doesn’t happen. I guess conservatives just don’t work for free. We don’t have our own prolific version of ACLU that files a hundred thousand lawsuits a year nation wide.

Maybe we should have. I would gladly pay $100/year to a competent organization that would sue the commie libs and keep them on the run the way we are.

Did you notice that this guy from Canada is so indoctrinated that after all he went through he signed a form giving the police permission to search his home AFTER they had already done so!!!! Is Canada really that much of a police STATE. Sad.

It breaks my heart they punished him by sexually humilating him. He did not even do anything. He will never feel safe in that school again now. He should not expose his child to that abusive environment either. God only knows what they are doing to the children under their control.

His quote above is warning to all the “smart” people. You will not be spared when the Marxists take over. They will harm the smart people who cooperate with and help them, once they get total power.

The irony is that Canada is now progressing in the opposite direction

Your whole comment is about financial conservatism. The thread is about social conservatism (including gun rights). There is no move toward social conservatism in Canada. When there is, let me know.

“...sounds like a nice lawsuit for the dad.”

It does indeed.

Do the police arrest everyone they are investigating?

I used to be soooooo pro-cop, but stuff has gotten very much out of balance lately.

Don’t not have children — homeschool them. That way they can even eat the food you prepare for them — or better, they can learn how to plan a meal, grow it, and prepare it themselves.

So now “further conversation” includes handcuffs and strip searches?

I used to spend my elementary days in the late 70’s drawing these huge apocalyptic vehicles with giant cannons and laser turrents on them.

Those evil warmongering vehicles, Being a symbol of death alone plus my possible unpleasant disposition and god only knows if i’d still be locked up behind bars today....

Thanks Libs!!

When I was in high school, rifles and shotguns in the back window gunrack were a common sight in the pickup trucks parked outside. Of course, we were just country hicks that didn’t know anything about being in a gang or shootin’ up the school.
