That boy knew exactly what he was doing. If any parents should be checked, it is his.

here's is the point where i'd like to say - i'd rather be the parent who raised a child with a peanut allergy than the parent who raised a sadistic little asswipe who would assualt another child in this manner...

I don't think anything at all should happen to that little boy. He's been through enough, with half of greekchat condeming him and alll.

I would hope the parents thrashed the little boy when he got home.

I don't agree with charges though.

Peanut allergies are really serious and potentially deadly. The boys who did this either don't understand how serious this allergy is or they are really vicious.

We had a medical emergency whrn I was Convention Chairman. The student had eaten something that had peanut oil in it even though everyone was told she was allergic to peanuts. She went the hospital and was treated and released. This was before epi-pen! Very scary stuff.

I'll bet he's crushed.

Who knows what this kid was thinking - or his friends that instigated the hazing. They probably thought 'allergy' meant sneezing, itchy, hives, common hayfever symptoms, rather than a potential for anaphylaxis (as with a lot of food allergies).

Just as a note, anaphylactic reactions are bloody terrifying. I've had two - one when I was 9 and another when I was 21 (from two different allergens). It happens fast and if it's not sorted straight away by an epi-pen or going to hospital or both, then the person is pretty much screwed.

So as funny as the title sounds, it's really not something to be flippant about. I hope the boy got suspended, or given loads of detentions, and his parents given a good jolt into reality about the kind of child they're raising (misguided or miscreant, however you want to look at it ).
