I agree that it is a touchy issue. And it's quite possible that it is a case of the school and state workers over-reacting. It would be helpful if we could actually see the drawing.
Here's the judgmental part, though. Why is a troubled six-year-old who's father is in Iraq playing violent video games? Is that an alternative lifestyle? Or just unthoughtful parenting?
I sort of agree with Jewels, I would always default on the side of the child's health and well-being. Not saying that what was done was necessarily the right thing because I wasn't there. But I won't go too far to find fault with the way it was handled.
