Eight-Year-Old Sticks Schoolmates With Needle


Recommended Posts

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A third-grader stuck 19 schoolmates with her mother's diabetes blood-testing needle this week, and one pricked students tested positive for HIV on a preliminary test, officials said.

Health officials said the virus could not have been contracted from the needle stick, and they noted that preliminary tests can yield false positives. The risk to students who were stuck after the possibly infected child depends on factors including the depth of the stick, health officials said.

The 8-year-old stuck her Taylor Elementary schoolmates Wednesday at the school's breakfast, at lunch and in the classroom, using a needle that was about one-third of an inch long, on the end of a device that looks like a pen, school officials said. They were unsure why the girl did it.

She was suspended and will probably be moved to another school, said Paul Vallas, the school district's chief executive.

Most of the students involved were taken to a hospital for testing and treatment, school officials said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the risk of HIV infection after a needle stick is low, with an average of one in 300 cases leading to infection.

They just need to start exterminating these f*cking kids. kill them all off before they start causing any more trouble.. you cant tell me a kid like this is gonna grown up and make a postive contribution to society.

Also how could she have stuck 19 schoolmates with it....... you think someone would have told on her before that many got stuck.

I've been hearing about this for a few days now (becuase all the news channels around here are from Philly, I'm in South Jersey). I really feel bad for the kid who did it and the kids that've been affected.

Can you imagine how a parent would feel if their kid had been infected with HIV through this? If I was in that position, as a parent, I likely kill the responsible child through anger! :no:

I guess it is too early to tell, but if any child has actually contracted HIV then this is horrendous.

Of course not, who else would take my garbage :laugh:

Ok sorry, I know that was uncalled for. But my school uses the handicapped people to do garbage. They have no classes, they just empty trash cans, and pick up litter.

what the hell? exterminating a kid? whats wrong with you, how do you know about her contribution to society when she grows up. She is just a kid and most dont know any better, dont know if she did it as a joke or hated people, but she shouldnt have done it period. They can help her but exterminating? i hope you dont get any sort of power anytime soon.
