Yesterday, we reported upon the horrifying incident whereby an eight-year-old boy mistook a used condom he found in the school playground for a balloon, and we have yet another shocking report to share today.

 

Two pupils from a school in Hampshire, England have reportedly been suspended after a classmate’s drink was spiked with hydrochloric acid during a science lesson.

 

The incident occurred during class at Hounsdown School in Southampton, with the Year 11 student raising the alarm after taking a sip from her water bottle.

 

It is believed that the girl’s drink had been spiked with the highly corrosive chemical by a group of fellow students in the class who had been ‘messing around’ during the lesson.

 

 

The student’s teacher abandoned the lesson, and the girl was immediately brought to the school’s medical room where she was assessed and given water.

 

According to reports today, the concentration of acid was low and the student did not require hospital treatment, nor did she suffer any ill effects from the incident.

 

The school’s headteacher, Julie Tarvey, said that an investigation has been launched into this very serious incident.

 

“The school is taking this matter very seriously and continuing its investigation. A student took a sip from a water bottle into which other students had put a small amount of hydrochloric acid. Immediate action was taken to assess the student and the risk of serious harm,” said Ms Tarvey.

 

She added: “The welfare and safety of all pupils attending this school is our priority. We have reported the incident to the Police and two students have been temporarily excluded.”
