DOVER, N.H. (AP) - A New Hampshire high school student shocked so severely in shop class that his heart stopped beating is suing his teacher, the school district and the city of Dover.

Kyle Dubois and his parents claim teacher Thomas Kelley did not warn Dubois and other students of the dangers of the electrical demonstration cords in their electrical trades class.

On March 11, Dubois attached an electrical clamp to one nipple while another student attached another clamp to the other. A third student plugged in the cord.

Dubois was critically injured.

The New Hampshire Union Leader says Dubois' suit contends he suffered permanent brain damage.

Kelley resigned from his teaching position about a month after the incident. He declined to comment on the lawsuit.

A family of morons!!!! The kid for doing it and the parents for blaming the school.

I don't understand why the teacher resigned? Unless he left the kids unsupervised possibly?

[blimp]

Maybe he was DONE dealing with a bunch of idiots!

Also -- this is not sports related.

I'm no expert but usually before you start classes like that you have weeks of safety lectures and lessons

no matter how many hours or lectures you give a person like that, they are still stupid. only in America can you sue for stupid crap like that. i can go walk on a sidewalk and trip and break my leg. then sue the concrete company for putting those lines in the sidewalk b/c it tripped me.

[LE Dad]

So I guess it was decided that being stupid isn't a sport :confused: :confused:

LOL, great minds think alike, that was my first thought also.;)

It's the story you've heard so often before; kid in a high school shop class attaches electrical clamps to his nipples, and another student plugs in the cord. Kid then sues the school because of his injuries. It happened in Dover, NH, where Kyle Dubois was shocked so severely that his heart stopped beating. His parents are suing his teacher, the school district and the city of Dover.

The shop teacher's excuse for not supervising the students more closely? He was talking with other students in the class about his fantasy baseball team. Yep, I knew we could eventually link this tragedy to Jeremy Hermida.

Read the rest of the account from the Associated Press and try not to picture every Three Stooges short you've ever seen:

On March 11, Dubois attached an electrical clamp to one nipple while another student attached another clamp to the other. A third student plugged in the cord.
Dubois was critically injured.
The New Hampshire Union Leader says Dubois' suit contends he suffered permanent brain damage.
[Teacher Michael] Kelley resigned from his teaching position about a month after the incident. He declined to comment on the lawsuit.
Curly places light bulb in mouth. It glows brightly.

From the New Hampshire Union Leader:

"I was talking up my fantasy baseball team with one student and the next thing I know there was a commotion," Kelley said during a video interview obtained earlier by the New Hampshire Union Leader. "I look and I hear an 'Ouch.' I look and there's Kyle going to the ground." Dubois' heart stopped and paramedics had to restart it with a defibrillator. He was in critical condition and had to be taken to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where doctors drilled a hole into his skull to check on brain swelling.
Nothing funny about that. But I'm not sure it's the school's fault.

Wait a minute ... is that Darwin's music I hear?

Pretty sure teachers aren't paid to stand around and talk about fantasy baseball with a few students and ignore the rest of the class. I'm not saying the kid didn't pull a stupid stunt, but kids are kids are kids. That's why there's an adult there to supervise and teach.

Ya know....in a round-about kind of way.....this just turned into a sports thread!!:p

[bobcat4life]

This kid is one of those people you just want to ask "Whats it feel like to be a freakin idiot?" :D

[SintonFan]

Umm..
why put electricity on your nipples? Seems kinda gay to me.

Sorry, but I have to call BS on this. Who among us spends 100% of our time doing our job, while on the job. Anybody who says they do, is a liar!
No matter how hard we try, we simply cannot account for stupidity. I don’t care how dedicated or conscientious we are at doing our job. Also, this wasn’t a little child left unattended. It was a high school student, showing off to his buddies, by doing something really really really stupid. His buddies that helped in his stupidity are almost as much to blame as this idiot. Why aren’t they being sued?
If I had ever done anything this stupid, my Dad would have come into my hospital room and beat my a$$ right there on the bed. And I would have deserved it.

You have to wonder how stupid the other kids were too. NO ONE thought this was a stupid act and called attention to it? I bet he ain't got the brass to do it again.

Maybe it affected his "brass" and he can't procreate, we have enough stupid people as it is!!

That was tacky of me, I know!!

That wasn't as bad as what boog said.:nerd: :p

I have witnessed this act on 2 occasions.

Once in High School Ag class. Yes it happen during a welding project where kids (us) were allowed to mingle around and pretty much do what want. No harm, no reports, no damage.


Another while in the Military. Different scene as a Very large capacitor was attached to a russian guys nips as some sort of hazing type prank. Again nice shock from the discharge, with black marks...but no damage, no reports, and no harm.



I think it might be blown out of proportion some by the parent. But they have every right to complain. It is 100% the teacher's responsibility to baby-sit each kid while in class....I'm almost sure it was a dare or bet.

The teacher is stupid for not being on top of things...and might fall victim here of having some horrible luck.

The kid is stupid for having the stones to try this stunt....but not in any way stupid for having a weak nervous system and a weak Heart.

The parent is stupid for allowing the kid to grow up without having knowledge of electricity.

Bottom line is that the school is 100% liable and I hope the parent sues for every dollar they can get.

this stunt has nothing to do with having stones...stupidity does not equal ballsy, it just equals stupidity

There sure are a lot of courageous moments in life that kind of feel stupid.

I'm sure if the kid didn't get injured..he would have gone on to be popular and praised by the other kids.

It's like going for 2...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Suing the school won't solve anything. You can't fix stupid.

If the kid was already popular, he'll be more popular. If he wasn't, he'll be a weirdo.

Either way, sinton66 put it best. You really can't fix stupid.

[Old Cardinal]

Stupid is mighty hard to deal with.

If I were the judicial system; I would not allow this case.......

[AP Panther Fan]

I have often wondered why my kids bring home those "class guidelines" at the beginning of school that the students sign and then the parent signs before returning it to the teacher.

This might have helped the teacher defend himself perhaps.:thinking:

Same here. My dad would've got me before I got to the hospital though.
