Felony charge for failed science project
Florida Teen Girl Charged With Felony After Science Experiment Goes Bad - Miami - News - Riptide 2.0
What the actual ****? She was conducting a science experiment. NO ONE GOT HURT AT ALL. It created some smoke but that's it. Now she's been expelled and tried as an adult. It's not like she brought nuclear components and made a dirty bomb or anything......

Their response: kids should learn that "there are consequences to their actions."We've also obtained the police report from the incident. It shows that Wilmot was mixing toilet bowl cleaner and aluminum foil

WTF? I did way worse crap than that as a kid.
Hell in my chemistry class in highschool we did a very similar experiment. Stuffed a ball into a tube and had made a potato gun essentially using chemical reactions. Mixed the chemicals and then capped the tube. Shot the ball across the room.
I made mustard gas and nearly killed myself one time.

You aint never lied......
I can understand if this happened and she got a misdemeanor maybe, especially if no one died. But she didnt pose a harm to anyone.

Drano + aluminum foil. Seriously? That's what's she's busted over?
Are they charging her with creating explosives? Exactly how low does this definition go? Is Mentos in a soda bottle next?

Didn't some elementary school kid get in trouble for drawing a picture of a gun not too long ago?

Kindergarten Boy Suspended for His 'Distracting' Mohawk
Yahoo! Shine - Women's Lifestyle | Healthy Living and Fashion Blogs
When 5-year-old Ethan Clos showed up at school with a short, spiky mohawk last week, his fellow kindergarteners thought it was cool. But administrators at Reid Primary and Middle School in Springfield, Ohio, deemed the edgy cut too disruptive, and ordered him home until he adopted a tamer style.
"Our dress and grooming policies are designed to ensure that clothing and hairstyles do not cause a distraction to the learning environment," Morris said in a statement.
The school's handbook states that "Hair shall be worn above the eyebrows and must be kept clean, neat and trimmed" and specifies that boys may not wear their hair longer than the bottom of their shirt collars. It also says: "Hair styling or coloring arrangements which are disruptive or distracting are not permissible."
“Our policy clearly states that any dress or grooming which is disruptive or distracting to the educational process is not acceptable," Morris verified to WHIO-TV. "In this particular case, the student’s hairstyle did provide disruption to the classroom."
Ethan's grandmother, Joyce Wells, thinks the suspension was too harsh a penalty to pay for a hairstyle. A mohawk, she said, isn't really that different from other styles where the hair is cut close to the scalp, especially if the mohawk itself is short.
"I could understand if it was colored, and if it stood up off longer of his head," his grandmother said. "But I don't see nothing wrong with this."

My kid's going to have dreads. And if the school has a problem with that I'll send him to a tech magnet school where they dont give two ****s about hair.
