ANOTHER REASON TO CONTROL MIDDLE SCHOOLERS...

A Pierce County mother says she's horrified by a cartoon video - posted online - that showed several ways to kill her sixth grade daughter. The cartoon was made off school grounds by some of her daughter's classmates, girls aged 11 and 12. Titled "Top Six Ways to Kill Piper," it includes depictions of girls shooting her, making her commit suicide, poisoning her and even pushing her off a cliff. Beth Smith tells KING5-TV the cartoon was set to a Hannah Montana song called "True Friend" and posted on YouTube. Her daughter Piper attends Elk Plain School of Choice in Spanaway, Wash., as do the girls who made the video. The fact that none of the middle schoolers considered this to be beyond poor taste, especially given the spate of school related violence that has cropped up over several years makes one realize that the standards of conduct are low and getting lower by the day.
