If this is indeed the original letter I dont get why he coloured it in like that.
Its obvious from looking at it that it was originally done in pencil, but then coloured over.
I cant recall being nine, but I think your over the age when you would do something like this. I think he coloured it like that to try and act younger to get more sympathy.

Okay, I love the CSI marathons on Spike just as much as the next guy but you chaps need to cutback on your CSI intake!

In the article it said he's in class for four hours and only one of those is actually instructional, that gives the kids plenty of time (three hours worth) to do childish activities such as colouring. It could be as simple as he's a creative kid and likes to make things pretty! This is a sad case though... It would be great to have a law where the kid's citizenship can help the parents but like someone said that could easily get abused. It doesn't seem like that's the case here though so I think an exception could be made.
