A mom is in a heap of trouble after she sent her 3-year-old son to school in a t-shirt that read "I am a bomb" on the front and "Jihad, Born on 11 September" on the back. Good one, Mama! Bouchra Bagour was charged with "glorifying crime," which is apparently something you can be charged with in France, where the family lives. Here she'd probably be protected under freedom of speech. But then, here people would be even more pissed with her son's t-shirt and run her out of town with torches and pitchforks. As it is, Bouchra faces up to five years in prison (for a t-shirt!), but she and her brother (who made that t-shirt, worst uncle ever) will probably end up paying hefty fines. But wait! Bouchra claims it was all just a silly misunderstanding.
