Parents of students at a middle school in Marinette, Wisconsin are furious after their 5th to 8th graders played a game called "Cross the Line".
The game required the students to step forward if their answer to questions such as "Do your parents drink?" or "Has anyone in your family been to jail?" were yes.
"It was too personal. It's just things your kids don't need to be disclosing to other kids," said parent Amanda Fifarek.
A 6th grader at the middle school explained that an employee of the school asked if any of the children had ever wanted to commit suicide to step forward. These questions are thought to be way too personal by the parents and should have never been discussed in a larger setting.
“The intent of the activity was to build stronger, more respectful relationships among students," explained the school administrators.
NBC 26 News noted that one child was threatened by the staff that if she did not participate in the game she would be suspended.
According to FOX 11 Online, the school has made clear that if another game like this one were to take place, they will make sure the parents are aware.
