STUDENT David Reihm’s school essay resulted in being committed to a mental ward:
Minnesota high school student David Riehm submitted graphic essays in his creative writing class, prompting his teacher, Ann Mershon, to alert authorities.
IT got worse:
Not only was Riehm suspended from school, but authorities took him into custody and committed him to a psychiatric ward. A physician later determined David was neither mentally ill nor dangerous, and he was released. He and his mother filed a civil suit against school and county officials.
