Several students told police that it was Kelley who promised DuBois a Mountain Dew if he agreed to get a shock from an electrical test cord. However, Kelley has denied he was involved in the dare.
Police decided to file no criminal charges in the case because there was no evidence that anyone believed the shock would hurt DuBois. [ /quote].
Kids will be kids you know. Adults do some really stupid things thinking they can do so safely.
This is the reason we have Nanny State Laws and all the regulations for inspections of wiring and plumbing, seat belt laws and classes for safe hunting etc.
That said---In the above quote it states that no one believed the shock would harm the boy.

Any kind of shock is painfull, walk across a wool carpet in the winter in a place with dry air then kiss someone---Darn but that can sting.
Now about this teacher that bribed the boy to hook himself up to electrods on his chest---over his heart-- why not have bribed him to learn to use a pneumatic nail gun blindfolded.?
Someone needs to look into the history of this so called teacher, do a drug test on him, find out why a grown man would in courage a young boy to do such a thing.
There is such a thing in law that states a professional that disregards their training and causes physical or monetary damages to another SHOULD have known and are dealt with much different then someone who has no knowledge of the danger or likelyhood of an accident happening.
