PLN 8-Boy, 8, suspended after sniffing Sharpie marker

I recently read an article that caught my attention called, "Boy, 8, suspended after sniffing Sharpie marker" in the Denver Post blog area. This article talks about a 8 year old boy being suspended for smelling a sharpie and the stripes he drew on clothing. The 50 year old parent 'overreacted' because of this situation. The Harris Park Elementary School Principal Chris Benisch, thinks that this shows a safety risk if a sharpie is misused. The boy was suspended for 3 days after not stopping the situation of inhaling the fumes of the sharpie.

At first, I thought this article was a bit strange and ridiculous to make something like that case such a big deal. After thinking more into it, I do think it is important. It is very necessary for this boy to immediately stop the habit of sniffing the dangerous fumes of the sharpie. The fumes can be very risky to his health and already addictive. More and more kids are curious enough to touch anything, smell anything, or eat anything. This habit needs to be broken and parents need to be more cautious of what their children may do.

In the world, I think things that may seem little can reoccur and become bigger. Many small issues can turn into larger ones while people would not have a second thought of what may come out of it. And the future of small events could become more dangerous or uneasy to handle.
