BEVERLY HILLS, Mich. (AP) - Prosecutors filed juvenile charges against a 12-year-old boy accused of putting cleaning fluid in his math teacher's tea. The boy allegedly squirted the clear liquid into the teacher's cup while she was distracted in class May 15. She drank a few sips of the tainted tea before other students alerted her.

The fluid used to clean dry-erase boards contained a warning that it could be harmful if swallowed, school officials said. The teacher was treated and was unharmed.

Neither the teacher nor student, who turns 13 on Aug. 11, were identified.

If found guilty, the boy most likely would be ordered to perform community service, receive counseling or serve probation that could extend until he is 18, said Steve Lynch, chief of the juvenile division for the Oakland County prosecutor's office. An adult could face up to 10 years on the same charge - placing harmful objects in food.

The school district said it has not decided whether the boy may return to Berkshire Middle School, where he attended seventh grade.

Guess cleaning fluid is a little better than mescaline.

That's nothing. When I was in the Army I know of Warrant Officer Candidates who used to make their TAC Officers morning coffee out of toilet water.

That's funny...At Wolters by any chance?...probably not 10th WOC.. Of course to see a WOC (COW with backwards brass) with a cowbell around his neck going Moooooo was always amusing...

Actually it was at Ft. Wolters in 2d WOC. I found out about it many years later when I ran into the former candidate then a CW2 that did it. I was a TAC myself at the time and I can't blame them, the guy was an idiot. The only bad thing was I used to go up to his floor and get coffee from that pot occasionally. Still feel like washing my mouth out with soap and water when I think about it.

How bad was the tea that the teacher couldn't taste it?
