Grand Blanc School and Police Warn Parents of ‘Water Wars’ Danger
Every year students from Grand Blanc and surrounding areas participate in a game called "Water Wars."
It's basically just a bunch of teens running around the community trying to surprise and spray other kids with squirt guns. While it seems like nothing more than kids being kids, Grand Blanc High School and police are urging parents to steer their kids away from participating.
Grand Blanc Police point out that some squirt guns look very realistic and fear that someone could really get hurt.
City of Grand Blanc Police Department:
Gun violence is at an all-time high, but each year high school students look forward to having fun with "water wars". This is not sanctioned by the school, and students do not have permission to participate on campus at all. However, they go to each other's houses, other places in the community, etc. We want them to have fun, but we don't want anyone to make a mistake and shoot one of these kids playing a game.
The school sent an email to parents warning that any student that participates in water wars on school grounds will result in disciplinary action. Depending on the severity of the incident, students could get suspended or expelled. Also, students may face legal consequences if their actions negatively impact the local community.
I see kids every year in my neighborhood playing this game. While I never thought about the dangers of one of them being shot, I did worry they would get hit by a car. Those kids chase each other all over without paying attention to what's going on around them.
It's really too bad that kids can't be kids without the fear of being shot these days.
