DOVER, N.H. —
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.

The kids a moron...so he sues the school.  World would be better off if he fried himself. One less idiot in the gene pool.

I'd say the brain damage occurred before the shock.

[Dichotomy]

So the kids stupidity cost the teacher his job?  What a load.

LMAO, I wonder what ambulance chaser was dumb enough to take that case. I'd be counter suing the idiot kid's parents...they shouldn't have let that one out of the house without a helmet and someone to watch him.

It is kids like this who I think should've been introduced to corporal punishment and labor early in life, to set down a set of responibilities, morals, principles and some frickin dang sense.

You have to remember that anyone can sue anyone else for just about anything.  It doesn't mean that they are going to win...

With that being said, the sad part of all this is that the school district will probably settle 'out of court' for dozens (if not hundreds) of thousands of dollars...

That's the problem with the system... no body ever stands up to defend themselves anymore.. they simply want to "throw out" some money to make it just go away.  Because of this, lawyers are quick to jump on cases which really have no business existing, because they know they'll make a decent sum off of the whole deal.  This, in turn, makes people more inclined to sue and everything just dominoes from there.

Hopefully the shock made it impossible for the kid to reproduce. I think we can all agree that this family tree should not grow any further.

[Reschke]

WTF!!!!

What a dumb arse kid.

[sluggish]

My only questions...

How old is the kid?  Why DIDN'T the teacher tell the class of the danger?  Why were hazardous items left out for children to play with?  Where was the teacher when this was going on?

They are going to pay big time.  You people who want to blame a child for the gross negligence of the school and teacher don't know what you're talking about.  It was probably the teacher's idea.

I hope you're trolling.
