Adults bullying kids

Thought I posted this but can't find it now... it's rather disturbing that in a day and age when there's so much concern over bullying this could happen. Full article.

"Some parents are furious after learning their children were tricked by school leaders into chewing moose droppings on a class canoe trip in Manitoba.

Karen Eyolfson, whose 13-year-old son was one of two students to bite into the droppings, has pulled her boy from Walter Whyte School, saying the trust between staff and students has been broken.

It happened during a school trip on May 25. Two Grade 8 teens from the school in Grand Marais, Man., were given the poop but told they were chocolate-covered almonds. "

That's disgusting, the guilty adults should be severely reprimanded.

Re: Adults bullying kids

Nothing at all funny about that, and proves that there is rarely anything funny with practical jokes. Those responsible should be tried for assault...

Re: Adults bullying kids

Any adult with that kind of sick sense of humour should never have been in charge of kids. And for the others to go along with it, is cowardly to say the least. Having this kind of a laugh at a child's expense, is indeed bullying. It's also a health risk.

Re: Adults bullying kids

Since the article says it was a parent who offered the stuff to the kids, I'd also be concerned for their own child(ren) and how they are treated at home.
