"The mother of an 11-year-old boy said Thursday that school officials were to blame for a rattlesnake attack that injured her 11-year-old. Erik Kelly and his friends were playing football on the campus of Shephard Middle School last week when the boys started playing with the snake."
When I was 11, I had known for years that some snakes were dangerous and that they were not toys to be played with. It takes a special kind of entitletard to hold the school entirely at fault because they have snakes on the grounds occasionally.
"If there would have been an adult there, they wouldn't have been playing with that snake," said Patricia Kelly. "The adult would have seen it."
If there would have been an adult in the home who was willing to be a parent, the kids might have known to leave the damn snake alone in the first place. How did they make it to age 11 without knowing that snakes can be dangerous? Do they also think lighters and gasoline are a fun afternoon's entertainment?
I'll agree that someone dropped the ball, but it wasn't anyone employed by the school district.

Just think of it as evolution in action. Nature has a way of weeding out the dumb ones.
That woman doesn't give her kid any home training, but the school is at fault? She needs to grow a brain.
Well, when stupidity is painful, lessons are learned. I'm sure that this unfortunate boy will have a higher respect for the danger of snakes. However, most stupidity in America is rewarded and government subsidized, so stupid people will still be plentiful in the U.S.A.
I agree. It's pure Darwin. The ones who adapt live, the ones who don't die.
(I knew at that age too that snakes were to be avoided. In my case my Mother did her job.)
