Between tossing frozen turkeys at cars and mixing drugs and bleach into cake icing, the young’uns are having a good ol’ time this week, aren’t they? :rolleyes:
And, why oh why, did the father not notice his daughter was putting…unusual ingredients in the mix?
I played pranks in school, too…to people who I knew would appreciate it, and who wouldn’t get mad/upset.
And I put salt in their cereal, stuff like that. A great big heaping dollop of salt. You wouldn’t eat more than a bite! I was pretty shocked at this news.
Man, don’t these kids know anything. Laxatives in the baked goods is a prank. Hot sauce/pepper in a baked good, beverage, or really any sort of food product is a prank.
Expired medicine is only an acceptable prank if you are in a teen movie and only if the medicine will cause hallucinations or diarrhea.
Bleach is only an acceptable prank if you are in the movie “Heathers.”
Asperger’s is a neurobiological disorder. It’s a form of high-functionning autism where the most noted deficiencies are in social and communication abilities. These kids have average to above average intelligence (some show “savant-like” tendencies, too), can be a little on the hyperactive side, but have a hard time relating to other people.
Yes, she should be able to tell right from wrong.
I think the dad was trying to blame the syndrome for his daughter being impulsive and doing something like this without thinking consequences through.
Huh? Putting expired meds and bleach in baked goods is certainly deplorable, but “terroristic?” Was she shouting “Allah Akbar!” as the cake was distributed? Did the heads of any students get lopped off? Any explosions?
I wonder at the evidence at the intent charge. Do they have the girls diaries saying how they want to poison their classmates? And Terroristic Acts? That seems a bit over the top.
“No malicious intent” my ass. 13 years old is damn well old enough to know what can hurt people. Sounds like the father has deluded himself into thinking his girl is a little angel who doesn’t really mean any harm. Asperger’s sounds like a cop-out to me. Even if she really does have it, what’s the excuse for the other girl?
I think an appropriate punishment would be to be made to eat their own culinary creation.
I think this comes down to a matter of perspective, a glass half empty or half full scenario. The fellow students can choose to either be upset about the medicated clay streaming out of their bottoms or happy about their exceptionally white teeth.
I’m definitely an excellent cook. An excellent cook. Yeah. Dad lets me cook slow in the kitchen. Yeah. Definitely an excellent cook. 'Course, it’s 20 minutes to Judge Judy.
