I cannot believe that the teacher did not tell the class that electricity is dangerous.  If so, the student might have a case.  If not, the case will get laughed out of court.

Other articles say the teacher offered him a Mountain Dew to shock himself. That's just a little fishy to me.

*sigh* No offense, but please educate yourself before posting about a lawsuit that you apparently know little about.

As to this 'kid', I wonder how he reached 18 in the first place.

Tells me you know nothing about how lawsuits move forward, and why the McD coffee suit had merit.

Status: offline 		When I was 6 or so, my dad took my brother (age 2 1/2) and me down into the basement and showed us the power of electricity. We learned not to play with cords or light sockets or to ever stick objects in outlets.


When I was younger than that, he demonstrated why one should never run with a lollypop in one's mouth by putting a straw through an apple and explaining that could be the back of my throat and the lollypop stick.
That lesson impressed me enough that I suddenly no longer cared for lollypops.

How someone can go through 18 yrs of life and not somehow learn that one doesn't play with electricity and apparently the kid that plugged the cord in and the other kid that attached the clamp to his other nipple didn't know either?

Unfortunately in this case, the teacher may have assumed too much, or perhaps the kids just weren't paying attention.

I had a junior high science teacher who didn't teach lab safety either and I was the one who explained the difference between H2O and H2SO4. (In his case he was an idiot.)

Status: offline 		So, are we saying here that by age 18, nobody in this person's life told him that electricity can shock you?  Is he going to sue his home-ec teacher next because the stove is hot or fire burns?  I'm guessing this guy doesn't drive either because he hasn't got a clue about what to do if the battery dies and he has to jump start the car.

I hope this does go to trial.  During which, I hope they put the mother and father both on the stand and ask them exactly how they handled their son growing up in a house with working electricity and miraculously, never had to teach the kid about the electrical sockets in the wall.  I'm also really interested in how none of the school system's curriculum never included electricity prior to him being (I assume from his age) a senior in high school.

I don't think the soda for a shock story is so unbelieveable... adults do stupid shit too.

I think at the time, McD's settled because they didn't have that "caution: content is HOT!" warning on the cup yet.

OK This is fucking stupid did this kid NOT EVER WATCH CSI?? They have said in at least a dozen episodes 6 milliamps will stop the heart.   Basic electrical courses will tell you that the average circuit is 15 amps.  15 amps is 2500 times the needed current to stop a human heart.   Why do you think the first warning of these courses is "TURN THE BREAKER OFF" ,  now for me who knows a fair amount of electrical shit, that warning is pretty much fluff.

Frankly I hope the parents lose in court for allowing such a fucktard to reach the age of majority.

Let me assure you as a BLACK (as in no other additives) coffee drinker almost all commercial coffee makers brew the coffee TOO FUCKING HOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.   190 degrees is about 30 degrees too hot, when  most Italian espresso makers brew the coffee at around 160 degrees.  All it takes is about 130 degrees to scald human skin.


SO FUCK McDONALDS they fucking deserved to lose in my opinion.

Actually, McD's lost because they coughed up memos written that showed that they were entirely aware that their customers could get burned and then deliberately did nothing about it.  The callousness hurt them.

Hi, pogo,

i would hope his (or anyone else's, for that matter) parents would educate him (their children, if they have any) about these things way BEFORE they were allowed to watch shows like CSI. 

i agree with LadyPact on this.

I have to wonder if he didn't have some sort of brain damage BEFORE the incident. How can someone possibly go through 18 years of life and NOT know that electricty will do that?

Status: offline 		okie, Mc D's was proven to being in the wrong, They kept their coffee way to hot, hotter than what was safe, knowing it wasn't safe because scalding hot coffee keeps fresher longer than properly heated coffee. They'd been warned to turn the heat down before and refused to.

That lawsuit was not a joke, Mc D's did something truly  stupid and for greedy reasons and was in the wrong.  Now perhaps there was some measure of stupidity on the womans part, but Mc D's was clearly in the wrong for heating coffee  beyond safe tempetures , just to keep it fresher longer.

Before you go citing things as a dumb lawsuit, please know the facts about the lawsuit, before citing it in an example of people winning stupid lawsuits.
