Mmm donuts... (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/03/31/ap/strange/main2631971.shtml)

Some eighth graders got an early start on April Fool's Day when they handed out doughnuts laced with laxatives to classmates, but it was no laughing matter when five were ticketed by police.

There were no apparent injuries but ambulances were dispatched Friday to Sequoya Middle School on Long Island as a precaution, a spokeswoman for the Sachem School District said.

Suffolk County Police said 19 students and a teacher ingested some of the doped doughnuts. They were screened by the school nurse, Holtsville Rescue personnel and field physicians from the county health department.

Two 13-year-olds and three 14-year-olds were charged with second-degree tampering with a consumer product. The teens, who were not identified because of their age, were issued appearance tickets for Family Court and released to their parents' custody.

Classes proceeded as usual, but parents were given the option to pick up their children. The district also said it would take "appropriate disciplinary action."


Mmm taste the laxativy goodness.

As the NS Laxative I approve of this thread.
"appropriate disciplinary action."
Eating their own donuts.

Little buggers should have been charged.

I did read it. I was agreeing with their actions, although in hindsight I realise how that could be read another way. Perhaps I ought to have italicised the 'should'.

That happened right around the corner from my hometown.

Ah, brings back memories! *sighs wistfully*

Pity I wasn't around to advise them though. I could have told them that slipping someone even so much as an aspirin without their knowledge or consent is a rather serious criminal charge and should only be done to the best and most understanding of friends.
