-Caveat Lector- The "turn in your neighbor" law gets even uglier. Police seize guns from boy’s home Tucker McCormack, Register Staff March 27, 2001 http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=1587010&BRD=1281&PAG=461&dept_id=7573&rfi=8 MILFORD — Police seized 30 firearms, including handguns and rifles, from the home of a 12-year-old boy who was charged with threatening a fellow Harborside Middle School student. The incident was similar to another one earlier last week. The boy was charged Friday with breach of peace after he allegedly "made threats of violence against a fellow student" and implied that he had weapons available, police Officer Vaughan Dumas said. An East Shore Middle School student was charged with making threatening comments to another student March 20. Police seized guns kept in the home by that student’s parent. Dumas said the Harborside Middle School situation was reported to police Thursday, a day after police were notified in the East Shore Middle School case. The Harborside allegation was brought to the attention of police when investigators received a phone call from a "third party," Dumas said. The boy’s arrest followed an investigation in which police obtained a search warrant and seized the 30 weapons, which belonged to one of the parents, police said. The weapons are being held for "safekeeping," and will not be returned until after the case is adjudicated and the court is satisfied the child does not have access to the weapons, Dumas said. Dumas did not say if investigators believe the boy intended to carry out the threat, but he noted that a Superior Court judge took the boy’s threat seriously enough to authorize an arrest warrant. The boy’s parent was not charged. Dumas said he had no information on whether the firearms were properly stored or if the boy had access to them. Regarding the seizure, Dumas said, "We’re not in the business of second guessing what might or might not happen." The boy will be arraigned in juvenile court in New Haven, where proceedings are closed to the public. The two incidents in Milford come on the heels of another deadly wave of school shootings, including one in Santee, Calif., where two students were killed and 13 wounded. Superintendent of Schools Mary Jo Kramer said the Milford schools take a strong stance when it comes to threats, and that police are notified immediately. "We’ll take whatever action we can to ensure the safety of the students," she said. Discipline for the Harborside Middle School student depends on the student’s age, past history and the circumstances involved, and could range from denial of school privileges to suspension or expulsion, school officials said.
