Stun-Gun Kid Zaps Schoolmates - A Queens, NY junior-high student swiped a stun gun from a neighbor's apartment and zapped his schoolmates during horseplay that sent a dozen youngsters to the hospital yesterday - "Nobody thought it was dangerous. Everybody thought it was fun."

Counseling doesn't mean therapy... It might just mean somebody who knows what they're doing will talk to the kid about the situation and make sure he understands why what he did was wrong. I'd rather the school just counsel the kid than suspend him without counseling.

still, you have to wonder that the kid doesn't realize that sending many volts of electricity through your body is Not A Good Thing. Hell, my kid knows that, and he's half the age of these idiots.

hey! there's a sharp stick! let's poke it in someone's eye! it'll be fun!
