middle school drama

[francesca comings]

my daughter is in 7th grade , so ya got to remember this is 12 and 13yr olds....a boy in one of her classes , got in trouble the other day and the teacher gave him detention , so he was mad and i guess wanted to get even .....when she left the room for a min. he poured germ x and body lotion into her coffee , 20 min. later they had paramedics working on her ....no word yet on whats going on now accept that he got ratted out and the police came in and took him out in cuffs ...now this child is still 12yrs old ....

so what do you think should be done to him

I don't know the laws where you are..but it sounds like he could be charged with attempted murder, and be in juvie until he's 18 or 21. This is a perfect example of why people, even children, need to stop and consider the possible consequences of their actions.
