Alex Watkins, a second grader at Mary Blair Elementary school was suspended for throwing an imaginary grenade. Alex said he was playing the game "Rescue the World." He plays the role of a heroic soldier out to rid the world of an evil threat.

His duties led him to throw the imaginary grenade into a box he pretended contained evil forces. He said he didn't make any threats and was playing by himself.
