The Associated Press reports that the Secret Service has closed its probe into the Facebook survey posted Sept. 26 regarding whether President Barack Obama should be assassinated (See "TUOL" 9/29/09) after determining that neither the minor poster nor his parents posed a threat to the President's safety.
No criminal charges will be sought against the parents or the juvenile George Gallup wannabe. Anyone considering uttering the bromide: "Out of the mouths of innocent babes..." should pause to re-read "Lord of the Flies."

It's very likely that the child is merely repeating things he heard his parents say. So, I agree with the Secret Service, leave the boy alone - but force him to watch his parents being executed. At worst, he'll turn into Batman.
