Boy Expelled For Throwing Pie Too Hard


LAKESIDE, Ohio -- An Ohio high school honor student who won a drawing allowing him to throw a pie in his principal's face was expelled until winter after allegedly throwing it too hard.

And he might even face criminal charges. The principal's assault complaint has been referred to prosecutors.

Authorities say he threw the pie with such force it caused Danbury High School Principal Karen Abbott's head to snap back.

The 15-year-old student's parents are appealing the 80-day expulsion that will keep their son out of school until next winter. They point out that their son's grade point average tops 3.4, and they say his education is at stake.

The pie-throwing event was part of a fund-raiser for the American Cancer Society.

Hard to say.. depending on how heavy the pie was, and how hard he threw it, I think he should receive punishmement. Explusion and criminal charges sound too harsh, esp for a kid his age.

Being an honor roll student he should've knew better. Let that bitch burn.

What kind of pie was it?

What did the principal THINK was gonna happen?!?:roll:

 

[jagec]

what, did they use a metal pie pan?

Assuming the pie was cream (I mean, what else do they throw at people?), I don't see how it could have injured anyone.

stupid principal,

wtf did she expect to happen.....

Assuming the pie was cream (I mean, what else do they throw at people?), I don't see how it could have injured anyone.

That's why I want to know what kind of pie was used. I mean, if they were dumb enough to use a pecan pie, I can see that fvcking somebody up, but it's common knowledge that cream pie is the pie of choice for pie-in-the-face gags.

What's with the crappy reporting? Facts, we need facts here.

the kid probably threw it as hard as he could at her. it's not like this was a bust to get a kid expelled.

From the link fivespeed provided:

Blake Molnar, 15, a sophomore at the Ottawa County school, has not attended classes since April 30, when he pushed the aluminum tin filled with whipped cream into Karen Abbott's face. Ms. Abbott told Danbury Township police that her face, neck, and nose hurt because of the incident, and she asked that the boy be charged with assault.

Simply outrageous! :| Apparently, he didn't even throw it...he pushed it into her face.

Lame principal

I would have done it harder if I was him.

Since when was 3.4 "honor?" 3.4 is concidered 55% percentile at my 3000-student school.

 

[notfred]

I hope he gets aquitted and then awarded all that woman's money in some kind of settlement.

 

[Excelsior]

Definitely the Dumbest Principal Ever.

Maybe it was unweighted.

you on a 5.0 scale, or go to a well funded school in an upstanding neighborhood.

Well, that could actually hurt more if he had pushed it into her face so hard that the pie tin itself smashed into her nose with his hand still on it. However, it's not clear if that's what he did and even if it was it still seems like an overreaction.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I guess he shouldn't have put that brick in the pie.

What a stupid story though. Must be a slow news day in Ohio. :roll:

They're both idiots.

Given the weight of a cream pie in an aluminum tin, he could have exerted more force by pushing it than by throwing it.

So half of all the students at your school get B's or better in their classes? That sounds a little inflated to me.
