We are officially a nation of pussies. Ok, the kid should be in trouble,,, fine, got it. But a charge of “assault”,, and parents speeding their little darlings to the EMERGENCY ROOM? LOL
They should have taken them to Burger King for the munchies, and had a talk with ‘em about how this is a little lesson to file away.
Is there a different standard way of treating crimes of poisoning than calling them assaults?
But but but...they got a “You’re a special Participant” trophy ;)

Those thorizine suppositories will have them feeling
like new ......in about 24 hrs.
I couldn’t disagree with you more vigorously. (Not about turning into a nation of pussies, though...)
It is one thing if the kids who ate the brownies were friends of the kid who handed them out and were experienced...it is a completely different thing if the kids were unaware, especially if there was a lot of marijuana in those.
I had a comparable experience once, where I ate an entire bag of chocolate covered expresso beans. A cup of coffee to someone who doesn’t drink coffee can be an excellent stimulant. An entire bag of expresso beans to someone who doesn’t use caffeine is an exceedingly unpleasant experience. I could deal with it, because I knew what it was, and figured it was going to wear off eventually. To a young, unexperienced and unsuspecting kid given heavily laced marijuana brownies, it would not be a case of having the munchies, it would be a frightening experience, of that I have no doubt.
