RICHMOND, Va. Henrico County school officials have upheld an eighth-grader's one-day suspension for eating a stolen cookie.
Superintendent Fred Morton IV says he can't discuss specifics of the case because of student privacy laws ... but he says there's more to it than just eating someone else's cookie.
Caryl Maitland says her son, Jeremy, told school officials that someone knocked over a cookie jar in the Hungary Creek Middle School kitchen and he ate one of the cookies as he picked them up. She says the family received a letter from the assistant principal telling them the cookies were a staff member's personal food. Jeremy was disciplined under the school's theft code.
The boy's mother says she believes he should be punished ... but that suspension is going too far.
Good thing he didn't drink any milk with that cookie. Sounds like he could have been wearing an orange jumpsuit and picking up garbage on the side of the road if he had.....
