Georgia police say a group of children brought knives, duct tape, even handcuffs to school, as part of a plan to get revenge on their teacher.

And these kids are just eight to ten-years-old.

It was an unbelievable plot.

The plan devised by a group of third-graders was exposed after another student spoke up.

The students had a plan to possibly harm their teacher.

Police were called to an unlikely crime scene at Waycross Elementary school in south Georgia.

They discovered that as many as nine boys and girls had planned to attack their third-grade teacher.

The day before, the teacher had scolded one of the girls for standing on a chair.

"I think the teacher had a timeout table in the back, and she was asked to go to the timeout table and that was as simple as it was," said Waycross Police Chief Tony Tanner.

Just about everyone in this small town was shocked by what they found on the young students.

Police seized a broken steak knife, a chunk of glass, red gloves, toy handcuffs, duct tape and a number of other items they may have planned to use in the attack.

Police say the third-graders assigned themselves different tasks including covering-up the windows and cleaning up afterwords.

"Some might say they were young and in the third grade and how serious could it be, but we obviously have to take that very seriously," stated Theresa Martin, of the Ware County School Board.

The teacher was veteran educator, and teaches students with learning disabilities.

"Even if at that size, if they had used the knife it could have been fatal," said Chief Tanner.

Two girls, ten and nine-years-old, along with an eight-year-old boy, face multiple juvenile charges of conspiracy, possession, aggravated assault, all in the third grade.

Chief Tanner says the students apparently planned to knock the teacher unconscious with a crystal paperweight, bind her with the handcuffs and tape, and then stab her with the knife.
