Reports: Alabama teen shot in the head during 'prank that went terribly wrong' - U.S. News - 0 views

  •  
    If i remember this would be involuntary manslaughter.
  •  
    Not yet, unless you have an update, the boy is still in critical condition. But if he dies, it seems like a good example of involuntary manslaughter to me.

    That's crazy, and rediculous!
  •  
    I think its kind of ridiculous how a grow up encourages young kids to fight and not do anything about it.
  •  
    Wooooooow. That guy is a total loser and needs to grow up and take action.
  •  
    Pretty sickening if you ask me. Why would people beat another person up as a prank. This boy needs some common sense..
  •  
    ya i agree. who just stands there and tapes a group of girl taking it to one girl? that's messed up in so many ways
  •  
    Being a older man he should have enough common sense to stop that fight
  •  
    Ha, and they say bullying has gotten better.
  •  
    This is absolutely ridiculous. No child should have to go through that. Bullying is getting worse. There are too many incidents like this happening and something needs to be change or someone is going to get seriously hurt.

Slap to the Face Gets Student Expelled - 8 views

  •  
    "The parents say Benson High responded quickly. The 15-year-old has been expelled." In your opinion, do you feel the school's punishment was appropriate? Please explain your view.

    I feel that expelling him wasn't necessary. Suspension might have fit better as it wasn't an act of hatred just a prank that the school board took way too heavily. Smack Cam is something that is widely popular on Vine, it is far more wide-spread than the news article is letting on.
  •  
    I think the school may have overreacted. I think the appropriate punishment would be to give them ISS and make them serve a few hours worth of detention. Expelling someone over a slap when it's a joke is too much.
  •  
    I think it was a good idea to expel the kid he was just being stupid.
  •  
    I don't think the kid did anything so bad he should have been expelled. There are kids doing so much more dangerous things out there and face smaller punishments. It was a really dumb prank that was hurtful and meaningless, but not worth the punishment.
  •  
    I feel like the school's punishment was too harsh. Sure the "smacking game" is rough but so was the punishment. The student was charged and should have just been suspended. The student did it as a joke, not out of an act of violence.
  •  
    I think that an expulsion might be a little too far, but the student should have definitely gotten suspended. The smacking game is totally different if the person being smacked is friends with the smacker. The high school student that got smacked was harmed and humiliated, which is not okay.
  •  
    I feel as if the punishment was a little excessive,but if the school knew about the game they should have stated not to do it in/on school property. Getting ISS or OSS would have been enough for a harmless game that most laughed and joked about. The student should not have done it either way.
  •  
    It was a good idea to expelled him i wouldn't wanna be slapped in the face for no reason!!!
  •  
    I think the punishment did not fit the crime, it was not as serious as they made it seem. Kids get in fights every day and don't get expelled for it so why did someone that just slapped someone get expelled? It was meant more as a joke than as an act of violence. This is clearly a misunderstanding between two different generations. There are no quotes from the child who was slapped, what was his take on this? All we have are the opinions of the parents which will of course take it more seriously than their child. If you can get expelled just for slapping then what's next? Pretty soon kids will get expelled just for giving someone a high five too rough.
  •  
    I feel like the punishment was to extreme for what it was. The kid who slapped the other kid didn't mean to do something like "teach him a lesson" or make him bleed it was just a simple slap. The slapping is assault but it was once and he wasn't planning on doing it repeatedly so he should have gotten suspended at the most. Expelling him for a stupid mistake like that was to much.
  •  
    I think the school shouldn't have punished the student the way they did because sure it was an act of joking around, not trying to be violent. I think the student should have been suspended. It was a dumb joke but the student should be given a different punishment.
  •  
    He should not have been expelled.
  •  
    It was taken to far that the kid got expelled from that school I would have suggested that it would have to be an out of school suspension, the person who recorded it would have had a 3 day OSS. It was humiliating for the kid no way should they be a "victim" of this case it was a game and shouldn't have played it on that kid.
  •  
    I think the school took it to far with the punishment, just for getting smacked in the face. Lots of kids get into fights now a days, but the school took it too far and it was meant to be a joke.
  •  
    I don't think the punishment they gave the high school student was necessary. But I think he should have got suspended because kids do way more harmful things and don't get in that much trouble.
