Foiled North Pole Slaying Plot | USA
Episode 28, Dec 23, 2018, 08:30 PM
A group of 7th Graders from North Pole, Alaska drew up a “naughty list” of kids at school that they wanted to murder in one violent, coordinated attack. What drove these kids to conceive of such an evil plan?
Every November and December, thousands of letters addressed to Santa are sent to North Pole, Alaska. Boxes full of letters are then sent to North Pole Middle School, where it is included in the 6th Grade curriculum: North Pole’s 11 and 12-year-olds are nominated as Santa’s little helpers and reply to all the letters on Santa’s behalf. But in April 2006, the peace in this snow globe of a town was shattered when six 7th Graders hatched a plan to kill their classmates. The would-be attackers had drawn up a “naughty list” of kids at school that they wanted to murder in one violent, coordinated attack. Just the previous year they were acting as elves, writing letters to other children all over the country. A couple of months later, they were gearing up to be monsters.
