(11-18) 11:11 PST ATLANTA (AP) --

The father of one of two 13-year-old girls accused of serving poisoned cake to about a dozen students said Thursday he and his daughter were sorry it happened.

"It was a horrible prank that went too far and a lot of people have suffered," the father told The Associated Press. The man asked that he not be identified by name to protect his daughter.

The girls were held on assault charges Wednesday, a day after handing out the cornbread cake at East Cobb Middle School.

Lab tests showed the icing contained an expired prescription drug, bleach, clay and hot-pepper sauce, police said. Eleven students who ate it were treated at a hospital and released.

Both teens were charged with 12 counts of aggravated assault with intent to commit murder. One girl was also charged with terroristic acts and interference with government property. Both are still in custody, the father said.

1. Hmmm, can you say "Mentally Unstable"???

These girls obviously belong in a psych ward.

3. Read the last paragraph

-snip-
The father said his daughter was diagnosed this summer with Asperger's syndrome, and that doctors told him the girl should not be in a conventional school setting. Asperger's is an autism-related condition characterized by social and communication deficiencies.

Why was she still in a conventional school setting then? I'm sure bush*s healthcare agenda(lack thereof) had nothing to with that.

5. I don't think Aspberger's has anything to do with it.

I have Aspberger's myself, and I know of the behavioural traits it encompasses. Handing out poisoned cake to other students is NOT one of those behaviours. This girl obviously has some other deep, serious psychological/emotional problem.

4. A prank?!

1. Dear god, some of those chemicals can kill people!
2. "One girl was also charged with terroristic acts and interference with government property." So the studnets are government property and no they're being labled as terrorists? They may be bad people, but not terrorists, ie. there wasn't, I don't think, any scare tactics used.
