A Morton Middle School eighth-grader faces felony charges after putting crumbled peanut butter cookies in the lunch box of another student with a severe allergy to peanuts.

The allergic student, another eighth-grader, did not eat the cookies and did not suffer a reaction.

I find nothing wrong with charging him with a felony. It could have killed the allergic kid.

>>It was well known that the other student suffered from severe peanut allergies

Definitely should be a felony.

In defense of the 13 year-old kid, one could argue that he shouldn't be charged with a felony. At that age children still tend to have very little reasoning/ risk-assessment abilities, and probably didn't know how deathly allergic to peanuts the other kid was, so he thought he could just do it as a playful practical joke, and didn't intend for it to be a homicide, and intent is one of the things that has to be proven to prove homicide or attempted homicide, and if he didn't intend to kill the other kid, then you can't jail him on a felony.

Kids can be VERY cruel and kids also need a good painful kick in the ass.

Well, next time I try to kill someone, I'll make them eat whatever they're allergic to. It seems an acceptable way in society for killing, or attempting at least.
