Leigh Patrick Sullivan recently posted about this on his blog:
"Your four-year-old daughter drew a picture of you and a gun. When questioned by staff, the little girl explained the picture: '…he uses it to shoot bad guys and monsters.'
You are arrested. Your kids are snatched away and held in the ‘care’ of Child Services. Your wife and kids are interrogated, and not told of why you have been arrested. You are strip searched. Your home is invaded by the police in search of an illegal weapon which they have yet to discover, even though you have already been told you face a weapons charge.
All because a young girl drew a picture of her Daddy protecting her.
Where to begin?"
