Stabbing at Mountain Creek High School

[kdal]

I had sent an email last week to Mountain Creek School asking if they could recommend what school year my boys should go into.

So today I was happily looking on the web at areas and put in search 'Mountain Creek'

OMG the stabbing came up, last week a 14 year old boy was stabbed by another boy in the leg !!

I know bad things happen everywhere but Mountain Creek School had such a good reputation, then I went onto read that

The Courier-Mail reported that 10 to 14-year-olds are committing shocking crimes and at similar rates as adults - at schools, on public or private transport and in the home.

So there you have it the rose tinted glasses fell right of on my keyboard and especialy when I read


Five Sunshine Coast teenagers have been suspended from school after sucking on the potentially fatal Bindeez Beads.
The 16-year-olds, from Mountain Creek State High School, were suspended a week ago after it was discovered one of the boys brought the beads to school and handed them out to friends.

Never heard of these beads before but sounds bad news.

It's just so sad when you hear these things happening in schools, adults at pubs/clubs is one thing but schools!!!

Right anyone out there whose kiddies go to the school tell me it's all hyped up by the media - p l e a s e

I read somewhere that all the bindeez beads things had been recalled because a small child swallowed one and it had the effect of a date rape drug.

OMG is this a toy then thats coated in something?? Thats real scary how on earth did it ever get passed.

Jo, I know these things do happen but its scary eh!! Especially the thought of kids stabbing each other in schools

Glad Charlie has found a school he likes now as you need them to be happy so that you can all be happy.

Hope your well

Bindez are a kids (normally girls) toy that you can stick together to make bracelets etc.An incident occured where a kid swallowed some and as was rushed to hospital.The child is now well and toys recalled but the media decided to BROADCAST that this toy wasnt just poisnous but went into detail explaining that when swallowed give off the same effect as a drug called fantsy(i think).So we heh even though they were recalled big kids were pinching younger siblings Bindeez and swallowing them to see what this affect is????????????? not heard much lately so presumably its now under control and most are back with the manufactorer.
