I think here in Canada we take top prize in that category:
http://www.therecord.com/news-story/2597468-gun-leading-to-dad-s-arrest-was-a-toy/
A four year old girl makes a drawing with a gun in it which results in the
father being arrested by the police and strip searched when he arrives to pick
her up. The remaining children are also removed from the home and held by
children's services. No gun was ever present in the home, only a small plastic
toy gun was found. I wish they would put as much effort into teaching the kids
as they do protecting them.
