If she had been walking around the school with the knife threatening other children I could understand arresting her but she wasn't doing that.

I don't think she needed to be arrested.

However, if she brought the knife the school, that means she might have brought it on the bus.  If not, should would have at least had it in a pocket, or backpack, or stored in her desk/locker.  She would then need to continuously carry it to the lunch room.  I can't believe that more don't have an issue with a 10 year-old moving around a school transporting a steak knife.  Plastic knives with rounded ends are used in school for a reason.

I would suspect that she *transported* it in her lunch box along with her food for lunch. A perfectly safe way to transport a steak knife.

It's a knife, not a Class Tango Munition.  Anything can be (and has been) used as a weapon.  When did motivation disapear?  If a logger charges into a tree with a chainsaw to chop it down, should he be treated the same as someone wearing a hockey mask charging into a crowd of people with the same chainsaw?

Really, Mickey?  If that's your assertion, then in this specific instance I would have to say that you are not, in fact, so fine that you blow my mind.
