Why is this boy still in school? The school should have gone Joe Clark on his ass and expurgated him.

Harker Heights High School: Student Puts Super Glue in Freshman Girl’s Hair

“It’s horrific. I can’t describe how awful it is going to school after that,” Combs, 15, told KCEN. She was taken to urgent care after she says a male student poured glue on her hair on Sept. 14.

The bullied teen had barely begun her freshman year of high school before tragedy struck.

A boy came up from behind her and poured super glue all over her hair and scalp. Hannah suffered first degree burns and the boy received only an in-school suspension

Spend a little time with Texas Juvenile Justice Department and perhaps his parents pay a fine. Then the victim's parents should file a suit against the perps parents and the school.

right after medical attention was sought. This crime should have been reported immediately - and it was a crime. It didn't magically become something else just because it took place in a school.

NOrmally, I am not a supporter of involving the police into routine school discipline matters, even when its a couple of kids in a little dustup.

But this was way past that and I think a trip to juvenile hall might straigten the boy out.

But crimes should always be reported. I don't like the way many school officials tend to trivialize criminal acts by students and pretend that they are "routine school discipline matters".
