Piece Of Crap Kids . . .
. . . those little shits:
Posted: June 18th, 2008 | Filed under: Brooklyn, Jerk MoveTeachers were thrilled when students at a Brooklyn high school sweetly offered them slices of homemade cake last week.
But the innocent-looking treat contained a nasty surprise — it was laced with laxatives that sent two educators to the hospital and sickened three other staffers.
Now, three seniors at the Brooklyn School for Global Studies in Cobble Hill have been suspended for the prank and barred from graduation — and were under arrest last night.
“It was just cruel and hurtful,” one of the victims, Tom Mancuso, 36, told the Daily News Tuesday.

The students behind Thursday’s stunt weren’t seen as troublemakers — one was a straight-A cheerleader. So no one was suspicious when they doled out the chocolate-iced Bundt cake.
People who were offered the cake assumed the red chunks inside the yellow filling were candy, but school officials say they were actually Dulcolax tablets.
“One of the kids said it was baked by his mom. ‘Go ahead, it’s free,'” said Danilo Dungca, 54, who left a job at the Federal Reserve three years ago to teach in the public schools.
“I’m very close with the kids, so I didn’t think anything of it.”
As soon as he and Mancuso took a bite, they knew something was wrong.
“It tasted like someone sprayed hairspray in my mouth. I spit it out,” Mancuso said. “That’s when my lips and my tongue went numb.”
“It had red chunks that looked like cherries, but they were bitter,” Dungca added, “I spit it out. . . . My mouth was numb. I got sick. I went to the bathroom.”

Some students at the school were blasé about the cake caper.
“Nobody’s died from a laxative,” said Shanell James, 17, a senior and friend of Ramirez. “He thought it was funny. I thought it was funny, too.”
