Police say Teenager Baked Grandfather's Ashes into Cookies
KSTP-TV (ABC Affiliate in Minneapolis/StPaul) ^

Posted on 10/18/2018 6:39:54 AM PDT by MplsSteve

A high school student mixed her cremated grandfather's ashes into homemade sugar cookies and shared them with several classmates, police in Northern California said Wednesday.

The student and a friend baked the cookies and shared them with at least nine classmates at their public charter high school near Sacramento on Oct. 4, said Davis Police Lt. Paul Doroshov. He said the Da Vinci Charter Academy students told some of their classmates that the cookies contained human ashes.

He said investigators interviewed nine students who ate the cookies, and said there are other supporting details that he declined to disclose that make the allegations credible. Doroshov said the students are unlikely to be charged with a crime, even if one can be found that would apply.

A classmate who told KCRA that he unknowingly took a bite of one of the sandy-textured cookie said he believes they contained human ashes. "She had mentioned her grandpa's ashes before," classmate Andy Knox said.

I hardly know where to start. Maybe I'm getting old but I truly can't remember a time when I was a teenager where I (or others) would have done something like this.

I don't consider myself a man of violence but if I had eaten part of a cookie like this, the person who baked the cookie would have caught hell from me.

Comments or opinions - anyone?

Disgusting, but what exactly is the crime?

It would make perfect sense to him if he were on drugs.

“Disgusting, but what exactly is the crime?”

I seem to remember hearing about laws against mishandling human remains, or words to that effect.

Icky, buy I’m thinking human ashes are pretty inert and not a health issue. More mentally disgusting than physically dangerous.

That said, WTF? Modern life is bizarre. But then human nature never changes, and people have always been capable of the most egregious stupidity and vulgarity. Nothing new here, just the means and methods.

Crazy ass kids be crazy.

Nothing about eating the remains, apparently.

Hopefully, the ashes didn’t bring on a spate of coffin for the ingestors.

I’m having a hard time seeing a crime here. Perhaps this person needs to be watched for psychiatric issues rather than criminally prosecuted, they didn’t hurt anyone. (yet)

Or, maybe they just heard the urban legend about Keith Richards snorting his fathers ashes and decided to share the experience as a laugh, weird things go through a teenagers head at times.

A kindergartener cant have a lemonade stand in his front yard without a license today. You cant convince me that there was not a health code violation somewhere to charge this very SICK individual with.

Is the public told when there are fetal remains in products they use?
