Bloody hell, this is something I would expect Onion to come up with, not a real news.

What the actual fuck... sometimes being an American is just plain embarrassing.
Well this made me Lol:
“I assure you my son lacks the magical powers necessary to threaten his friend’s existence,” the boy’s father later wrote in an email. “If he did, I’m sure he’d bring him right back.”

I often think this.
What if this boy is actually jesus?
coming back and showing off his magical powers.
But of course, hes not the messiah. Hes a very naughty boy.
Well, in the school's defence, lots of 9-year old kids still believe in Santa with his flying reindeer, the Tooth Fairy and that the Easter Bunny lays eggs. So while threatening with a magic ring is laughable to us, to the child who was on the receiving end of the threat he/she might actually believe that magic rings are a thing. Hence that child might believe the threat is real and might have been very scared and traumatised by the ordeal.
Whether suspension was an appropriate response or not is a different matter, and one which needs to full context of the ringbearer's schooling history. But bringing the T word into it was completely out of order.

Apparently it was the kid's friend. I just don't see any 9-year old kids getting scared that they're going to disappear and never return because of a ring. I just don't see that happening. And if it did then someone needs to set that 9-year old kid straight. Rings don't kill you. People with rings might. Wait...

The location of Mount Doom is rather well known, to be honest. Google maps is quite helpful with that:
