Teen jabs needle in others

A Vermont teen decided it would be fun apparently to jab some fellow teens with a needle he found on the side of the road. He jabbed eight other students and they are charging him with eight counts of assault. Personally I think it should be eight counts of attempted murder seems how he threw the needle away. Now these other kids have to wait months to find out if they have been infected with HIV. You know if the government won't allow us to discipline our kids when are they going start. Can't they see what is going on with all these kids with no discipline. Kids need to be kids again not adults in kids bodies. Sometimes I wonder what our government is thinking. Later all.
