　　California—Upset by the war in Iraq, Julia Wilson expressed her anger and impatience with

　　President Bush last spring on her web page on MySpace.com . She posted a picture of the president, wrote “Kill Bush ” across the top and drew a sword stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her page after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense.

　　It was too late, Federal authorities had found the page and placed Wilson on their checklist. They finally reached her this week in her biology class. The 14—year—old was taken out of class Wednesday and questioned for about 15 minutes by two Secret Service agents. The incident has upset her parents, who said the agents should have included them when questioning their daughter.

　　The teenager said the agents’ questioning led her to tears. “I wasn’t dangerous,” said Wilson, an honor student who describes herself as politically enthusiastic. “I’m a peace-loving person. I’m against the war in Iraq. I’m not going to kill the president.”

　　Her mother, Kirstie Wilson, said two agents showed up at the family’s home Wednesday afternoon, questioned her and promised to return once her daughter was home from school.

　　After they left, Kirstie Wilson sent a next message to her daughter’s call phone, asking her to come straight home and telling her that two men from the secret service wanted to talk with her.

　　But moments later, Kirstie Wilson received a text message from her daughter saying agents had pulled her out of class.

　　Julia Wilson said the agents threatened her, saying she could be sent to court for making the threat. “They yelled at me a lot,” she said. “They were unnecessarily mean.”

　　Wilson and her parents said the agents were justified in questioning her over her MySpace.com posting. But they said the agents went too far by not waiting until she was out of school and the agents should have more quickly figured out they weren’t dealing with a real danger.

　　Assistant Principal Paul Robinon said the agents gave him the impression the girl’s mother knew they were planning to question her daughter at school. There is no legal requirement that parents be notified.

　　“This has been an on-going problem.” said Ann Brick, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union in San Francisco.
