    Locally on the radio there has been a debate about a young child who is Muslim being reported to a de-radicalisation programme by his nursery because he drew a picture of his dad with a large knife cutting a cucumber.

    As the clip below says staff thought he meant "cooker bomb".

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03m85w4

    We've seen a few example like this of kids being reported for comments or pictures that might be deemed threatening or of some concern...

    Is the mother right to say the nursery over reacted or were they just doing their job in this period heighten fear/worries about radicalisation?

    By co-incidence my wife had a very similar situation this week. Staff at her nursery have all have had to have "Safe Guarding" training and they are asked to watch out for any signs of radicalisation or similar behaviour - yes in 3 year olds!
    Well this week Mrs W_Y set the nursery up like a plane, they had seats in rows, did a safety demonstration and even had a little trolley and gave out juice and fruit to the "passengers" - the kids loved it. Well one little boy (who was Asian) starting talking about tanks and blowing planes up and one of the TA's told Mrs W_Y - so she had the decision what to do. She decided a low profile approach and spoke with the father when he collected the little boy and they then sat down and spoke with him as well and asked why he mentioned those things - turns out that he has been sitting with his elder brother (who is only 12) when he has been playing GTA and he has been seeing these things! So Mrs W_Y had a little go at the father - firstly the little boy should not be watching GTA and secondly the elder boy is not old enough to be playing GTA and the father was a little embarrassed. I think in the vast majority of these situations, good old common sense should prevail.

    I agree with you 100% w_y. My wife could tell similar tales of children she dealt with and the problem was dealt with by speaking to the parents.

    Nor anybody else's position for that matter
    As you suggest we need to be sensible about these things. When I was a boy I can remember reading the Victor and the Valiant - and I can also remember playing warlike games and having toy soldiers (the enemies were always the Germans - strange to think were I ended up !). So maybe I should have been sent to a de radicalization centre (although SH. probably thinks that I should be now !). Boys will be boys - more serious would be if a boy suddenly started not speaking to, or not even acknowledging female teachers - as has happened to my wife on a few occasions, because this would suggest a radicalization coming from the parents.
