Dad Arrested After Daughter Draws Man With Gun (Toy Gun Was Found At Home)
Brantford Expositioner ^ | February 26, 2012 | Staff

Jessie Sansone and his family are reeling after he was arrested and strip searched by police after his four-year-old daughter drew a picture of a man with a gun in her Kitchener, Ont., kindergarten class.

The 26-year-old father of four said Saturday the sketch was supposed to be him, getting the bad guys and monsters.

The school must have thought differently, as after Nevaeh drew it Wednesday, the school contacted Family and Children's Services and they called police.

Waterloo Police met Sansone at the school when he tried to pick up his kids he was told he was charged with possession of a firearm. He was then handcuffed and put him in one of the several squad cars waiting outside, he said.

"When I was finally able to see my family, after this ordeal was over, my little girl ran up and gave me a hug me and asked: 'Daddy, are you mad at me?'" said Sansone, his voice choked. "How could she ever think that I would be mad at her? She knows this has to do with her drawing."

Sansone, and his wife, Stephanie, have been together since they were teenagers. They have four children, aged 10 years to 15 months, and Stephanie is five-months pregnant with their fifth child.

"Years ago, being really young parents we were given the cold shoulder, like we didn't know how to raise our children, this feels like that again, because I felt totally alone in that cell," Sansone said. "We still can't believe this happened to us."

Sansone had a scrape with the law five years ago, but has since turned his life around, left Toronto for Kingston, Ont., and has become a certified counsellor.

While Sansone was being strip searched at the police station: told to disrobe, lift his t*sticles and bend over, his wife was home with their 15-month-old daughter.

A gun was eventually found at the Sansone home, a toy gun that is. This story might as well happen in Obama's own nightmare police state regime.

I bet they searched "thoroughly".
I guarantee this arrest was just a pretext to search the home.

he was charged with possession of a firearm

But it sounds like no firearm was ever found... What's up with that?

Americans (many on FR) have acccepted the TSA, they will accept this as well- in the name of ‘homeland security’.

Well, let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me. Maybe.

Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers?

Doesn't HE deserve better?

This story is too absurd even for Canada.

I’m pretty sure thought crime was involved - so he had it coming. After the reorientation he will be a better citizen (if he lives).

I love Big Brother!

“we need a fence on the northern border too. Canadians are worse than Mexicans.”

Absolutely! No more of those English speaking Canadians allowed into our “Diversity embracing” cities.

We Canadians had a major victory in the repeal of the Long Gun Registry. Unfortunately, we still have idiotic incidents like this one happening all the time. It’s not quite as bad as Britain, where the dad would have gotten jail time for a pencil drawing of a gun, but still it’s crazy. The problem is this: Liberalism is a mental illness, it’s at epidemic levels here in Canada and it’s strongly manifested whenever guns or Christianity are mentioned or suspected. You would THINK, that the child’s mention of “monsters” would have tipped off the idiot principal and cops that maybe this is just a child’s imagination. And if that didn’t occur to them, why stop at gun charges? Why not charge daddy with pointing a firearm ( a serious crime here) at the monster, or animal cruelty?

I bet the writers for “Flashpoint”, the TV show about an obviously Canadian SWAT team, are just wearing out their word processors writing this episode. Definitely a “Made for TV” story, just needs the crack SWAT team with their upside-down chevrons to make Canaduh safe from such a scourge.

So lest any would be criminal, breaking into a private home, be put in fear of the immediate consequences, you have public officials who want to make sure that the party afraid, very much afraid one supposes, is the homeowner, trying to figure out how he may defend his home & family.

Does anyone not see the absurdity of this.

The cops executed a poor search - they didn't shoot his dog first.

Silly thugs- Gun drawings don’t kill stick people; stick people kill stick people.

They can stay in Canada and keep their socialist inclinations well away from our legislative bodies.

The man is not even a gun owner. This is the sad state of affairs here in Canada. After an illegal search of his home, the police then tried to coerce him in signing a declaration after the fact that he authorized them to search his home. Not only will the police, the government, and the teacher not apologize, the premiere of the province came out supporting their actions.
