School Suspends 7-year-old For Shaping Pastry Into 'Shape of Gun'

A seven-year-old boy was suspended from school on Thursday after biting his breakfast pastry into a shape that his teacher thought looked like a gun.

Josh Welch, a second-grader at Park Elementary School in Baltimore, said he was trying to nibble his strawberry snack into a mountain.

But when his teacher saw what he had done, the boy says she got 'pretty mad' and he knew he was 'in big trouble.' Josh was suspended for two days.

Josh's dad was called by the school and informed that his son had been suspended for two days.

The school sent home a letter with every student informing parents that: 'A student used food to make an inappropriate gesture.'

Josh, who suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and enjoys art classes, told Fox 45 that his actions were innocent.
