Chemistry Teacher Accused of Helping Students Get High
Fox 40 ^ | 5/24/2011 | Tihanna McCleese

A chemistry teacher is accused of helping her teenage students get high.

Police Sergeant Ray Fong says 34-year-old Livingston High School teacher Japhia Huhndorf, helped three male students, ages 16, 17, and 18, as they ingested the powerful chemical chloroform.

Livingston is about 15 miles south of Modesto.

“She either showed them how to do it or she poured it on a cloth for them to inhale,” Sgt. Fong says.

In an exclusive interview, one of the victims admitted the allegations were true to FOX40.

“She (Huhndorf) knew about it, but she wasn’t encouraging us to get high … it was just to ease the stress,” says the teenage victim who didn’t want to be identified.

The alleged abuse began two months ago in Huhndorf’s classroom, during what were supposed to be after-school tutoring sessions. The victim also claims the popular chemistry teacher, who is crowned “Most Spirited Teacher” in the school’s yearbook, would inhale the drug with them.

One student is said to have passed-out after using chloroform with the teacher. Investigators say Huhndorf ordered the drug from a company through the school but was not using it for her curriculum. She was taken into custody Monday morning but is now out on bail.

“She was a cool teacher … I can’t believe this...she wouldn’t do this, “ says one of Huhndorf’s students. She faces three counts of felony child endangerment.

Toluene provides a much better buzz.

I thought chloroform only put you out. I didn’t know it made you high, or is that just BS so they can charge her with a crime. Saying she helped them get high instead of showing them the properties of a well known anesthetic helps the public to fall into line with any charges they make.

Do you know why chloroform isn’t commonly used any more? Cause its easy to kill people with it.

Toluene is used in the process of removing the cocaine
from coca leaves in the production of Coca-Cola syrup.

It's not a drug. It's a damn laboratory reagent. A non-polar solvent that is easily evaporated under a vent hood to leave the dissolved components behind. The teacher was abusing the substance, but it is not a drug. Good thing she wasn't in some of my college labs. Nasty stuff like chlorosulfonic acid and some reagents that are nerve toxins.

We the jury find the defendant guilty your honor and recommend a sentence of life without the possibility of parole and a cellmate with cut off sleeves, blue jeans who goes by the name of “Mack”.

Why order when it is easily produced in the home? Silly chemistry teachers. What a dummie though, it is extremely easy to die from chloroform.

Ah, memories. A chem teacher in my high school, back in the 70s, was notorious for getting stoned with the kids.
