Fortunately, the teacher was unharmed as she noticed that her water bottle had been tampered with in time.
Local residents said they are glad the teacher noticed in time.
"That's a crime, if somebody can be injured like that, because if she doesn't smell it before drinking it, then it can be very dangerous," said one man.
Household cleaners, especially those with ammonia or bleach, can lead to vomiting, internal burning and bleeding, organ damage, and even death.
The police investigation concluded that the students, two 13-year olds and a 12-year old, put some sort of cleaner in the water bottle. It is unclear how much, but the teacher was able to smell it.
All three students have been charged with attempted poisoning and were suspended indefinitely.
WTH is wrong here? .....why are kids doing this?
wow. I'm not justifying this at all no way no how. It just makes me wonder what those kids were thinking and what (if anything ) happened between them and that teacher to want to poison her. Or if it was just a random psychotic thing they tried to do. horrible.
I'm a momma. It's my job to have an opinion and the answers.

I know it's just crazy!
I just wonder if kids that age can really grasp the reality of the consequence of their actions. Im not trying to defend their actions at all.Just wondering how much blame the adults in their lives are guilty of.Kids are raised on tv and games in lots of homes any more and kids dont know reality from fiction anymore.
That's crazy. I wonder if the kids were just being silly and trying to play a joke on their teacher, or if they really ment to hurt her? I think at 12 it could go either way. I'm glad everyone is alright though!
Wow.... thirty years ago, no child would have ever thought to do this for concern of someone's wellbeing, and for fear of what their parents might do. This was something parents were allowed to instill into their children by often times, means of a good spanking. Now, we can't even yell at our child for doing soething wrong, and CPS is on your case in ten seconds...
Just look at the children in another twenty years.... they'll never listen, be rude, disrespectful, they'll lie all the time.... This is what it is getting to. I spank my son and show him every day that I love him too. He's disciplined when needed, loved every second of the day, and even though he's two and naughty, he's not nearly as bad as some children I know.
It sounds to me like they were trying to pull a prank. Yeah it wasnt a great one, but for 13 year olds that what it sounds like. At least I am hoping thats what they were doing and not really trying to poison their teacher, cause thats just scary that a kid that age would think of trying to kill another person.
This is what happens when kids are allowed to be unsupervised, unmonitored and undisciplined.
Sixteen year old Brenda Spencer was given a rifle for Christmas and on January 29th, 1979 she stood at the window of her home loaded that rifle and began taking shots at the playground of Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego Calif. She wounded 9 kids and killed the Principal and Janitor..her reason for doing so? She was bored and didn't like Mondays.
A few years ago three middle school kids had some how gotten together an aresenol of weaponry and were plotting to kill one of their teachers as well.
Then of course there were the Columbine Shootings because kids will be kids and they are sometimes mean to other kids. Instead of teaching our children to have thicker skins and that life can be cruel parents wring their hands and fuss over little Johnnie's "self esteem". Rather than forcing him to face adversity and GAIN self esteem as well as character by dealing with the things they don't like.
I grew up hearing about my father the town drunk and my mom the loony of the community but I never plotted to shoot, poision or even do battle with anyone. I learned to not blame others for what was clearly my parent's fault (my father didn't HAVE to drink my mother could have remained on her medications) Life isn't perfect, we have to BUILD our self esteem it can't be handed to us and killing someone isn't going to get you anywhere.

I agree so much with what you're saying. Also....I think action/reaction is not real to kids. They aren't held responsible for anything they do or don't do. There's no repercussions to anything, and as you say....Mom and Dad run to hug little Johnny because someone called him a name or they're all over the school administrators because Johnny didn't get a trophy for showing up.
The problems started when we got to the point where everything in life for kids had to be fair. Then when they hit that wall of unfairness they lash out.
Sorry kiddies but no one handed you a guarantee that life was fair on the day you were born. Some kids are born in to well to do families where they are handed everything they want on a silver platter. Other kids are born into families where they have to work for every thing they get.
Some kids get the $100 and up denims with designer labels while some get the jeans with the yellow happy face stapled on them saying "roll back".
Some kids naturally get great grades in school, they don't have to study. Some kids have to work day and night just to keep up and some of them just can't seem to keep up.
No it's not fair, but the world isn't fair, but some of us have to grow up and learn how to make it fair.
