New Hampshire teen who zapped nipples during shop class sues

I'm guessing that brain damage was there BEFORE the incident. This kid clearly wasn't too bright in the first place.

He shouldn't have been given anything more dangerous that a sponge.

It is ALWAYS some one elses fault, right?

Say what? The parents should be upset that their high school student was so stupid as to attempt this. Unbelievable.

Hahahaha, wow, what an idiot. "Dubois' suit contends he suffered permanent brain damage". Yeah, right. Sounds like a pre-existing condition to me.

This kid will someday run for president? Dumb and stupid people please quit reproducing. The world is full of idiots. I am all for forced sterilization.

Assuming that the student(s) had a normal IQ for their age, there was no reason for the teacher to have to "Disclose" to students that they should not attempt stimulating their nipples with the electrical clamps and cords. Any fool who has plugged in a lamp knows not to pass current through their body by any means! As tragic as it is this student was critically injured, the lawsuit is frivolous and a perfectly good teacher's career has been ruined by another irresponsible student playing a dangerous game!

2010 DARWIN AWARD candidate. Brain damage? In this kid's case it's a pre-existing condition.

It to bad all of those morons did not fry. You can thank Bush for no kid left behind.

Kid deserved more than what he got. Judge should drop the lawsuit as a lesson in life.

Not very bright for these kids. It is their fault. Did the teacher instruct them
to attach the shit to his nipples? I bet they do not think it is funny any more.

What the hell are they teaching kids in school today? I don't think this kid had an ounce of common sense available. I'll have to admit, stupity is really funny! Did they videotape this for their entry onto Jackass - the sequel?

I don't feel sorry for this moron at all! Chalk it up as a life lesson - bet he doesn't do any stupid shit like this again! But wait, he's only 11, he has plenty of time left to find a stupid way to die.

And he is suing because they didn't tell him you couldn't do this? Anyone can try anything. If the judge rules in this kids favor, I think the rest of society is pretty well fucked - yes, George Carlin was my mentor. Maybe that's what this kid needs - or better yet, a set of parents that will instill common sense and a the ability to communicate before doing stupid shit.

We'll start making odds on if this idiot makes it to twenty. And if he makes it to twenty one, then the odds will be pretty much astronomical.

These young men were short of brain matter prior to this demonstration of stupidity. Unfortunately the district and others will absorb the costs, insurance will increase and the public will lose due to these less than average "students".

Shows like "Jackass" encourage this conduct. Some people don't have enough sense. Nature usually takes care of them.

Shows like "Jacka$$" encourage this conduct. Some people don't have enough sense. Nature usually takes care of them.

My grandpa always said there were some people too stupid to live. This one probably isn't long for this world.

Just clipping the clamps on one's nipples sounds painfull enough!

If had not had a bad experience with his electrified nipple clamps, would he have gone on to his physical education class and shoved a baseball bat up his ass?

I hope the school district goes to court and gets him on the witness stand.

"Against stupidity, the Gods themselves struggle in vain." Friedrich von Schiller

the school board is just as moronic as the kid for not backing the teacher do they really think some court is going 2 award some money 2 the kid and his parents they should saving their money 2 buy the teacher i would sue the kid who plugged it in

How about suing the parents for raising stupid kids!?
