stupid kid drinking bleach

[remal]

Just on the PC and the wife is watching morning tv. I look over ( really I was not watching it) and a mum and kid is talking to the presenter about how her 10 or 11 year old drank bleach and lost his hair and skin on his tongue. at least the kid was ok after but the mum is explaning how the lid was not on properly and it was not her fault just everyone elses. For sake woman, you should have checked the lid. And what the is a child that old drinking bleach for. I'm a dad myself and cannot belive the stupidity of some parents, and she even went of TV about it

She'll probably try and sue somebody about. You'll see big labels on bleach bottles in the future saying something along the lines of:

"NOT DRINKABLE - APPLIES TO STUPID KIDS TOO"

Hair on his tongue? Strange kid.

I'm suprised she didnt make him sick thus worsening the problem...

These people can vote, which explains a few things...

Given current education standards, to know the letter D at 10 years old seems to be progress!

I've got a solution to prevent things like this happening in future. It'd work along similar lines to the age classification on films. Each product gets a sticker stating a minimum IQ level for a purchaser.

The logos could be along the lines of "You must be at least this clever to buy this product..." and then have a little picture to signify the intelligence level required - going from Ralph Wiggum to Stephen Hawking.

Yes but how do you deal with those supposedly intelligent people like the ones featured in the paper at the weekend, i.e Oxford Students jumping off a bridge into 2 feet of water. The daft thing is they continued to do so, even though people were being carried out of the stream with broken ankles!!!!!

To think they will one day be parents.

got told by an uncle a couple of years ago who is a GP that modern bleaches are not very powerful.

his comment was that you'd have to drink the whole bottle before it killed you.

You would have thought that the authorities would have dug out the bed with a JCB as it was sure to happen. I just ask myself what the hell was going through their tiny minds :P

Reassuring that these are the best brains in Britian and will soon be running British Industry and the Government.

Very sharp!

just thought it was funny how she can show her face on TV. I would expect a 4-5 year old to drink it if they could get their hands on some but not at 10-11.

A powerful lesson for the Uni about crying wolf....

Not that I, or any of my mates, used to liberally sprinkle that part of the river with trolleys the week before.....

Just another example of Darwinism in action. Do we really want these people inhabiting the gene pool?

Nice white teeth though.
