Child Maces Others on School Playground After Mistaking it for Cologne

WHDH-TV - 3 kids hurt in pepper spray incident at Cambridge school

Who leaves mace on a school playground? As horrible as this the school superintendent has an awesome quote in this article....

It’s certainly nothing to do with the school curriculum, I can tell you that

And really I was hoping part of the Massachusetts public school education was learning to mace people. I guess that is one life lesson I'll need to teach my son myself.

I love the superintendent's response, only because it makes me picture a school system where that is part of the curriculum.

Reminds me when I was a freshmen in high school and this girl ran around pepper spraying certain people. However her doing was intentional and race related.

This is BS. The kid that was spraying it knew exactly what he was doing. Even if the idiot did think it was cologne, why would you spray cologne directly into someone's face.

My 4 year old daughter knows not even to spray water at someone's face when they are having squirt gun fights.

Re: Child Maces Others on School Playground After Mistaking it for Cologne

I remember when i was in grade 6 i took my mom's pepper spray out of her trunk and tried to spray some bees nest. Well it didnt spray it dribbled onto my hands, instantly i good feel it burning my skin (of course my mom got the extra strength version) so i went to the sink and tried washing my hands but i just couldnt get it off. Fast forward to school which was my first day at a new school btw, i was doing some work and i rubbed my eye accidently and i immediately knew i was screwed. We all lined up to go to an assembly and i just couldnt take it anymore so i jumped out of the line screaming "My eyes they burn". Its a great way to make a first impression i tell ya what

Well Some parents are not good parents. That does not mean they are doing anything illegal just that they do not tell their kids not to spray stuff on other people. I could see how a Child could do this, especially one that has never seen what a mace canister looks like.

I agree there are alot of idiots in this world. But this still raises the BS alarm.

Thanks for pointing that out, it seemed odd that there wasn't more concern that the child thought it was okay to spray cologne in the eyes of other children.

I agree but this reminds me of the episode of Family Guy when Meg touches the thermostat. I wish youtube wasnt blocked at work.

Really? I distinctly remember kids that would just randomly throw rocks at other kids when I was that young. Also some kids just like to punch other kids for fun. You underestimate how bad some parents are and how random kids can act sometimes.

This reminds me of my father. During the winter he carries Mace in one pocket, car lock de-icer in another and breathe spray in another. He hasn't had an incident yet, but it's in the cards, isn't it?

You are right, but hopefully that was a long time ago. Like I said, my daughter is 4. She and her preschool mates have been taught that spraying anything including water in someone's face is not acceptable. They all get along fine. The rules have changed, hopefully for the better for this generation of elementary school kids.

Back to the story, I am calling BS on thinking it was cologne. And even if he did think it was cologne, he was spraying it in their face to be a bastard. The story shouldn't be about the atrocity of finding the pepper spray. The real story is that the kid sprayed it in the faces of other kids.
