Elementary kid and 911? Point me to the claim?

I came across this from (DU'ers name here if I could remember it) in another thread.

Meanwhile, Odigo, Vreeland, Elementary Kid
saying those towers won't be there next week,
Silverstein says pull WTC7, well,
forget it.

I've heard about most of that, it's the Elemntary kid thing that is new, to me. Anyone point me to more info?

There was a link to WRH.com after that statement bu tit didn't go directly to the kid, and there's so much info there I can't find it.

Any help is much appreciated!

1. I've heard it, snopes has it as "undetermined"

2. Thanks. It appears the poster combined the 2 snopes stories

One has a Houston area teacher recall that an elementary kid told her on 9/10 that "WWIII will start tomorrow and the US will lose", and the other has a New York area high school kid saying "See those two buildings? They won't be there next week".

There appears to be some cloudiness on both claims as to their accuracy.

3. Snopes is full of s**t

They're really bad, at least when it comes to 9/11.

Here's a story from one year after 9/11 they didn't see or don't acknowledge:

4. Wrong.

That story, by Jeffrey Scott Shapiro, is indeed acknowledged on the very page linked to in message #1.

5. Nope

You are incorrect.

It's true Shapiro wrote a story on this for the Westchester Journal News on Oct. 11, 2001. The story I link to is from Insight on Sept. 11, 2002, and is a completely different story that looks at this case from a perspective one year later and makes reference to the earlier article. Please actually read links before you comment on them.

I've tried to notify Snopes about things like this in the past, but they just ignored my emails, so I've given up on them.

6. No.

Not at all a completely different stroy.

Same case. Same school. Same person. Same quote.
