- POLARBEARjezuz, on 04/15/2009, -0/+37A girl in my high school class put x-lax in the gym teachers orange juice. She was expelled but they let her back in 2 years later. Poisoning your teachers is bad, mkaaay.
- koonchu, on 04/14/2009, -2/+35This is not unique to the U.S. A group of four Japanese 5th grade students tried to poison their teacher when they found out she was pregnant.
- Orchid64, on 04/15/2009, -1/+23The Japanese students also formed a "miscarriage club". In addition to attempting to poison her bento, they also loosened the legs on her chair in an attempt to make her fall and lose the baby and planned various methods to force her to miscarry.
The main difference between the U.S. situation and the Japanese one is that the Japanese principal essentially said they were just trying to have a laugh and meant no harm and no punishment was meted out for the Japanese students. - inactive, on 04/15/2009, -0/+22oh go die in a fire
- wardsac, on 04/15/2009, -0/+19The people saying "It was only Ipecac!!!11!!, It's funny not poison" need to go drink some and STFU.
And the people saying "No permanent damage was done" need to STFU as well. How do you know? She was apparently ill enough to go to the hospital. Not to mention that even if no permanent damage was done, they still should be arrested and expelled. You could go up and punch someone in the throat without doing permanent damage, that doesn't mean it's "ok".
Grow up. - elcaminos, on 04/15/2009, -6/+23Poison? Really? Does ipecac have any adverse health effects other than the vomiting part?
- Fatcheeseguy, on 04/15/2009, -2/+19I would've done LSD myself.
- GeekNurse, on 04/15/2009, -0/+16If he doesn't graduate, I hear they are hiring at Domino's. Sounds like he is over qualified.
- pastasauce, on 04/15/2009, -5/+20When I was in middle school, everyone hated the 7th/8th grade science teacher (no one could ever explain why). When she left the room students used to spit in her coffee. Sometimes they put glue or the clear chemical stuff designed to erase white board marker ink. They're lucky she didn't get seriously ill.
Man, people were really mean to her. My class made her leave the room several times crying. Apparently we were one of her better classes too.
I didn't care though, I was 14 and I had the hot girl wearing a thong sitting in front of me. - graemee, on 04/15/2009, -0/+15Students are a pack animal, they sense weakness and attack it. They are also known to turn on their own it they sense weakness there too.
- BingoPower, on 04/15/2009, -1/+16To all those diggers that think this is just a "prank". It isn't a prank. Pranks do not harm people or put them in hospital. Pranks generate a few LOLz and nobody gets hurt. Whilst the substance wasn't actually a "poison" per-se, it's not something you put in someone else's coffee, let alone your teachers. Sperm isn't poison, but does that mean it's ok to jizz in someone's drink? No.
Glad they got expelled. Glad they got arrested. Dumb *****. - inactive, on 04/15/2009, -1/+14Whatever happened to finding that teacher house and putting a firey paper bag with dog poo on the porch?
- inactive, on 04/15/2009, -0/+11Why would her becoming pregnant be an instigation for an attempted poisoning?
- inactive, on 04/15/2009, -1/+12Why is everyone trying to rationalize the damage effect of the substance? The whole point here is that those kids put something in her coffee that made her go to the hospital. That's not funny or right.
- bewareofmoose, on 04/15/2009, -0/+9Yes, because poisoning them is a perfectly reasonable response when you don't want to do your homework.
- inactive, on 04/15/2009, -0/+8Wow, those kids should be jailed.
- Bajwa123, on 04/15/2009, -0/+8Holy *****...that school is like 5 minutes away from where I live. I also know a girl who baked cookies with some laxative in them and gave them to her teacher, unfortunately her mom could face some serious assault charges (or so she says) for permitting her do this under her watch.
- dinuguan, on 04/15/2009, -3/+11let's hope no one realizes this has anything to do with "Family Guy."
- Okawa, on 04/15/2009, -0/+8Who wants Chowder? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRn5-LQCg2s
- jackelopeus, on 04/15/2009, -1/+8Dugg for thong imagery.
- charlietuna, on 04/15/2009, -0/+5O_o !
- CaptCarrot, on 04/15/2009, -0/+5And that principal should consider seppuku.
- GoingPostal, on 04/15/2009, -0/+5Just in case you don't know what dinuguan is referring to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eYSpIz2FjU - heartoftofu, on 04/15/2009, -0/+5I find it ridiculous how people are trying to rationalize or justify the actions of these kids by coming up with theories that the teacher might have somehow deserved it or had it coming. The simple fact is there is no rationalization or justification for this. What these kids did was wrong and they should definitely be held accountable for their actions.
Sure you could argue that they're only 12, but since when does age become a valid excuse for one's behavior? While it's regrettable that they are so young, what they did was wrong and they need to bear the consequences for their behavior just like everyone else. People will argue that simply arresting them doesn't solve anything and it may not, but neither does doing nothing and letting them off the hook. If anything, letting them off the hook will only show them that they can get away with it. Until someone comes up with a better solution that really works, our current system is all we have.
That said, I do hope that we can find a more effective solution to deal with the increasing number of juvenile delinquents. The ideal solution, of course, would be some way to really make them UNDERSTAND the gravity of their actions, but I don't see that happening for a while if ever.. - Rivetgeek, on 04/15/2009, -3/+8vomiting IS an adverse health effect. You vomit because your body is trying to expel a toxic substance
- inactive, on 04/15/2009, -1/+5Ugh, where are the parents these days?
- brownsound00, on 04/15/2009, -0/+4wtf? what do you have against pregnant women?
- SpinningHead, on 04/15/2009, -0/+4My wife is a teacher. She probably would have cut these kids open and eaten their entrails...with a little mustard.
- asgardshill, on 04/15/2009, -0/+4Exposing her to aspiration pneumonia, erosive esophagitis, and even re-tearing surgical stitches is not a "practical joke". The children who did this belong in reform school or jail, not just sent home to play video games all day long.
- priegog, on 04/15/2009, -2/+6No it doesn't. Well prolonged use would, but ipecac is the safest means of getting someone to vomit. There's a reason doctors use it.
As for being allergic... sure it is POSSIBLE, but then again some people are allergic to sunlight an d I don't think anyone would accuse me of poisoning someone by pulling down their pants. - commentposted, on 04/15/2009, -1/+5Good story!
- dakbonsa, on 04/15/2009, -1/+5Can I punch you in the face since it won't leave any permanent damage?
- jemka, on 04/15/2009, -0/+4If ipecac is considered poison, then lighting a bag of poop (I called the ***** poop) on fire would be considered arson.
- heartoftofu, on 04/15/2009, -0/+4Umm... vomiting IS an adverse health effect? Maybe you live in a different world, but in my world it's not normal to just start vomiting... It usually means something is wrong. And artificially inducing vomiting in the wrong person can have drastic consequences. This is why you would usually like someone who has a ***** clue as to your medical history and condition to administer things like laxatives or ipecac to you...
- Lavarock, on 04/15/2009, -0/+4Yeah, tampering with food is a very serious crime in this country. It's generally much more harshly prosecuted than assault. I think it's to prevent people from being scared to eat and drink. Hunch.
- bewareofmoose, on 04/15/2009, -4/+7Or let's; they tried to poison somebody. Lethal or not, that ***** isn't the kind of thing that should be going on in a civilized country.
- jemka, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3@solidcube,
What's YOUR definition of "poisoning"? If you want to get technical, would switching a person's decaffeinated coffee with caffeinated coffee be considered poisoning? If so, would you want that person to serve jail time? If not, where do you draw the line? - Sublex, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3What a good story.
- inactive, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3*shakes head*
- omababy, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3Simpsons did it!
- solidcube, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3I would! It's poisoning. We jail people for much less than that.
- battins, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3Well if someone is puking suddenly and violently (thats my experience with Ipecac anyway) in a school, you aren't going to drive them home and say "be safe!" You're going to call an ambulance and make sure it isn't something very serious.
Poison is an accurate description, but there isn't really any permanent damage. If it was they'd be arrested for attempted murder. - wonko33, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3It's bad enough to be expelled for sure. Just give them a juvi record and some community service. If nothing happens till they're 18 it's all good, gone, no problems.
If they keep ***** off at least they have the record to show a precedent. - heartoftofu, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3It's exactly this kind of thinking that promotes this kind of activity in the first place. "It's not like it's going to kill her or hurt her so let's do it." This entire mindset is really misguided and extremely dangerous because there's a fine line between what could be a light-hearted prank and inadvertently hurting someone for real.
The fact that it did no "permanent physical harm" doesn't excuse the action and it certainly doesn't mean they should not face consequences. If I pushed someone down the stairs and they just happened to get off with a few bruises, does that mean I shouldn't face the consequences for pushing that person down the stairs?
Of course pushing someone down the stairs SOUNDS much more malicious than this, but both actions described are essentially the same concept in that both are intentional actions taken to detrimentally affect another person. Just because it's ipecac and may not do any harm (side note: Ipecac CAN do plenty of harm) doesn't give you the right to pour it into someone's drink without their knowledge. Also keep in mind that if we allow something like ipecac or a laxative to be poured into someone's drink, what else is allowed or not allowed? Instead of splitting fine hairs and debating what does or does not hurt someone to determine what exactly is OK or not, how about we just go with a simple rule and say "YOU DON'T PUT THINGS IN PEOPLES' DRINKS WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE... PERIOD."? - Hardataq, on 04/15/2009, -0/+2A few of my friends did something similar to our 8th grade English teacher. They put about 10 Ex-Lax pills in his coffee, but when he tipped the mug back he saw them. It turned out the teacher had some kind of crazy liver condition, and the pills would have done some serious damage. They got in some serious trouble.
- wardsac, on 04/15/2009, -0/+2Her puking so violently that the EMS was called was a harmless prank. Grow up *****.
I hope someone puts some ipecac or super strength laxative in my drink today too, and I hope that someone is you so I can puke and ***** all over you. Then I might find the situation numerous. - paperclipsNsoup, on 04/15/2009, -0/+2Laxative? No, but I still think its funny putting the bottom of a drink straw into a ketchup pack then back into the drink if they leave the table...or use a small syringe (not needle) and spray Tabasco down the straw
- moxley, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2Yeah, drinking ipecac is no joke...it's not like you just have a nice tidy puke and that't it - it actually makes you puke your brains out as if you are very sick and it is extremely uncomfortable.
***** these little ***** - you people who think it's no big deal would probably feel differently if someone did it to you, because there is a substantial amount of psychological terror if you feel fine and then all of the sudden you are violently, violently ill and don't know why? Realizing that someone put soemthing in your drink because it tastes funny but not knowing what it is right away?
That's ***** up. - ABadPerson, on 04/15/2009, -0/+2Aw shucks Japan, you're so crazy!
- noahgelman, on 04/15/2009, -1/+3If she had an allergic reaction to it, it could have killed her. Peanuts aren't harmful but to some they're deadly.
