An eighth-grader was charged with wanton endangerment after allegedly putting crumbled peanut butter cookies in the lunchbox of another student with a severe allergy to peanuts.

The allergic student, also an eighth-grader, did not eat the cookies and did not suffer a reaction.

Fayette County public schools spokeswoman Lisa Deffendall said the incident occurred Thursday on the Morton Middle School running track, where students had gone to eat lunch and enjoy the warm weather.

As the students neared the end of their lunchtime, a student was seen putting the crumbled cookies in the allergic student's lunchbox, she said.

It was well known the other student suffered from severe peanut allergies, Deffendall said. There was no known history of problems between the two 13-year-old students, she said.

  • It shows you that anyone is able to do anything evil. People who don't think evil is real are crazy.

  • Well, at least the kid didn't bring a gun to school.
    While punshing the bully sounds good, you aren't really doing anything to make the bully stop picking on kids. In fact, you're only feeding his/her anger. You have to get of the root of the problem. The school needs to find out WHY the bully is doing this. Then you'll get to the real problem.

    This is just as human as caring for a sick bird, pip pip.

  • That child's homelife needs to be checked into, pronto. There is bad things happening at home if this bully was that casual about killing someone.

  • Can you imagine what the headline would have been if the boy ate any of it? "Death by Peanut" silly but tragic it would have been

  • This kind of thing should not be happening. Parents need to seriously get their stuff together. Peanut allergies are something that should not be messed with my cousin could have died from a reaction she had. What ever happened to peace, love and harmony?

  • again...13. theres' a reason kids have never been tried as adults (until the american media started feeding terror stories daily). the reality is these kids are probably unaware of how significant their actions are. Or to take another track, if he did know he was doing wrong, putting him in juvie where he can be abused by other kids and the wardens and then be stigmatized for the remainder of his life isn't going to fix anything.

    oddly enough (haha) american's haven't seemed to learn anything from the failed drug war. The new thing seems to be throwing children into prison. you can't fix social problems in people by throwing them into prison, it didn't work to stop drugs and it sure as hell isn't going to fix kids.

    besides, kids aren't getting more violent, its just being sensationalized more, c'mon people, stop being led around by the nose.

  • I agree with jh64487.
    I'd be quite surprised if that kid actually knew how serious his actions were; people are so scared of children these days...
