Filed under: Teens & tweens, Weird but true, EducationWe have all heard of kids lacing foodstuffs with laxatives as a prank. It's not cool, but at least it won't cause anyone any permanent damage. But some girls on an El Paso high school dance team may have taken that idea and run just a little too far with it. Reportedly, they spiked some baked goods with something quite a bit stronger and gave them to their dance rivals at Andress High School.At this point, all the dancers have fessed up to is adding a bit of laxative to the brownie batter. But rumors are swirling that there may have been rat poison and bleach in the sweets! It doesn't sound like anyone actually ate any of the tainted brownies, but at least one parent of an intended victim is calling for criminal charges. "We felt like they weren't out just to play a prank," said Bea Saenz. "With all the stuff they put in there, it is like they were trying to kill them."District officials are having the brownies tested but the results won't be available for weeks. In the meantime, the brownie-spiking girls have been kicked off the dance team and suspended for three days. I suppose that punishment suffices if it turns out to have been just laxatives in the brownies. But what if there was something else in there? What do you think should happen to these girls?View Poll Read | Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
