Fourth grade students try to poison teacher's pet
The Local ^ | 18 Dec 08 | Staff

Posted on 12/18/2008 1:51:17 PM PST by forkinsocket

School children have tried to poison their classmate at a primary school in Hamburg because she was too smart, daily Express reported this week.

The eight-year old girl still can’t believe what happened to her. “They wanted to poison me and wanted me to die,” she said in an interview on television broadcaster RTL’s “Punkt12” show, the paper reported on Wednesday.

Her fourth grade classmates apparently disliked the smart girl because she got the best marks and had already skipped two classes. Two boys and two girls were so jealous they plotted to poison her.

One of the boys mixed what the students thought would be a deadly cocktail of shoe polish, perfume, window and bath cleaner at home. Another boy poured the mix into the girl’s drink bottle during recess the next day at school.

When the eight-year-old came back from her break, she noticed suspicious bubbles in the liquid and took only a small sip.

“I still got a stomach ache,” she told the television show. She was taken to hospital where doctors informed poison experts from the local police unit.

Despite the fact that her four classmates confessed to the poisoning, they can’t be charged with a crime because they are under the age of legal responsibility, Express reported.

“Why do kids do things like that,” the mother of the eight-year old girl asked. “One of the girls was even her friend.”

The four mean-spirited students have been transferred to another class, but the girl’s parents are still considering a school transfer for their gifted daughter, the paper reported.

Yeah, I guess it is kind of mean to attempt murder.

The teacher’s rabbit is innocent, why’d they try to poison it?

No controlling legal authority.

...but more important than what they did to the victim, how do they feel now? Are their egos still intact?

But they arrest the homeschoolers and remove the children from their parents.

Well at least they didn’t draw a picture of a noose or a knife; or sell her a cough drop. That would have landed them in real trouble.

Lots of evil in going around with kids in the US too. I would bet our percentage is higher.

Wow! Another reason to homeschool.

Institutionalizing children in same age packs and treating them like prisoners promotes conformity, bitterness, and resentment among the inmates.

It is ***unnatural** to treat children this way, and we should not be surprised when socially pathology emerges. Treating children as we do in institutional schooling is a new phenomena in the course of human experience. If our human ancestors of 150,000 years duration could see what we do to children they would be shaking their heads in utter befuddlement.

Her parents will try to find a “better” pathologic environment.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

What little savages. Serial killers start with animals.

What next? Other people.

OK I see that they DID try to do it to a person. I thought they meant an animal.

Unstinkin’ real that they can’t be charged with anything because they’re underage. It’s attempted murder and they acted on it.

They should be removed from the school, period.

They didn't use anything deadly, like a picture of a gun; nor a dangerous drug, like a cherry cough drop.

And they didn't try to damage her psyche by calling her names or casting aspersions on her religious beliefs or sexual orientation.

They just tried to off her, like good little morons.

I don’t know - fourth graders working together to kill a fellow student is pretty bad.

I was schoolyard bullied at that age. I learned to slip out and start running home as class was dismissed before the bullies said to each other lets pick on that too bright kid. I solved the problem in Jr high by deliberately getting B's instead of A's.

Public education was hopeless generations ago. In fact, it was never a force for good. It needs to be abondoned.

15 years from now this eight-year-old will secretly hunt down the 4 perps and exact her revenge on them. Some childhood memories last a long time. (Been watching too many slasher flicks.)

60 years later and they still haven’t learned the dignity of a life. They still love violence and ego.

I saw an article a few years ago about German women migrating to the USA so that they could start a relationship with our death row inmates. There was one woman who ‘fell in love with’ and married an inmate who tortured, murdered, and defecated on his 68 year old wife and 4 year grandchild.

They are passionately attracted to pure evil, it’s probably why they fell for Hitler so easily.

Make no mistake about it, people never change.
