Teen who zapped nipples during shop class sues

[WindHarvester]

DOVER, N.H.: A New Hampshire high school student shocked so severely in shop class that his heart stopped beating is suing his teacher, the school district and the city of Dover.

Kyle Dubois and his parents claim teacher Thomas Kelley did not warn Dubois and other students of the dangers of the electrical demonstration cords in their electrical trades class.

On March 11, Dubois attached an electrical clamp to one nipple while another student attached another clamp to the other. A third student plugged in the cord.

Dubois was critically injured.

The New Hampshire Union Leader says Dubois' suit contends he suffered permanent brain damage.

Kelley resigned from his teaching position about a month after the incident. He declined to comment on the lawsuit.

"suffered permanent brain damage" - I contend that this was a pre-existing condition.

Wow, not funny for the teacher or the taxpayers that will foot the bill for this stupidity. Stupid kids should be taken out of the gene pool.

I agree, it had to have been pre-existing. It's sad he is disabled, but that is just plain stupid.

I may get yelled at for posting this in comedy central, but their is not a forum here for "stupid things people do" and I figures Jeff would move it here from everything else.

Yeah, he would have moved it. You have to wonder what went through the kids mind, just before it happened, or if he was even thinking. Most kids should know enough by then that playing with electricity is bad. Too bad this happened, look how many lives are ruined now.
