AURORA, Ill., Oct. 11 (UPI) -- Two middle-school students Thursday were being held in juvenile detention for allegedly spiking their science teacher's coffee with hydrochloric acid.
The 31-year-old teacher suffered mouth burns and spit out the coffee after taking a sip. He was treated at Dreyer Medical Clinic and released. The incident occurred Wednesday at K.D. Waldo Middle School, after the teacher left a study hall briefly to monitor the hall.
He was preparing for his next class and had warned the girls about the dangers of hydrochloric acid before leaving them in the room. The 13-year-old girl allegedly acted as a lookout while the 12-year-old poured acid into the teacher's coffee mug, a school official said.
The girls were charged as juveniles with felony aggravated battery.
During a court hearing, their lawyer said the girls thought they were pouring water into the coffee cup but the judge asked why one had acted as a lookout.
The girls were ordered to remain at the Kane County Juvenile Justice Center.

On the plus side, any nasal stuffiness the teacher may have had will be taken care of for a while.
(HCl is an active ingredient in many nasal sprays.)

Someone put acid in my principle's coffee when I was in high school... only it wasn't HCL.. He noticed 2 squares of paper in the bottom of his cup and couldn't figure out why he started feeling weird...

Nah... Don't punish them. Give them each a gallon jug of HCl, send them to Afghanistan, and tell them to have fun.

I must be getting old. I actually had to think for a couple of seconds before I "got" your post.
