STUART, FL - A student at a Florida school has been arrested after authorities say he was "passing gas" and turned off his classmates' computers.

According to a report released Friday by the Martin County Sheriff's Office, the 13-year-old boy "continually disrupted his classroom environment" by intentionally breaking wind. He then shut off some computers other students were using.

The Spectrum Junior-Senior High School was arrested Nov. 4.

A school resource officer placed the boy under arrest after he confessed about his behavior, according to the report. He was charged with disruption of school function and released to his mother.

    sounds to me like he was arrested for being a * and disrupting class.

    I think its overkill, but teachers can't paddle...hell they can't chew a student out too sternly anymore, might "hurt their self-esteem" [V]

    Intentionally breaking wind? Can he just start and stop anytime he wants?
    Maybe he should call Guiness?

    In my day my teacher would have beat the snot out of me and then called my parents who did the same. Thinking back on it, it was ok and the right thing to do for me and the teachers. The coaches were called in if the kid was big or mean,to administer the dosage. The principal was no slouch with the punishment too. Manners are to be good manners for every child growing up! No fear or lawsuits back then.

    I utterly fail to see the humor in inflicting the contents of ones' rotting stomach on everybody else in the vicinity.

    Kinda like scooping up ripe road-kill and throwing it on the table.

    I have long felt that there is an element of homosexuality involved in the people that fart in others' space...

    In fact ..when I was working, I was able to slow it down in the break area by proclaiming that action as being the mating call for homos...

    Oh, Mr. Highball...have you considered that there may be medical conditions beyond a person's control?

    About 20 years ago, I had to have an operation on my bobo. Doc had to use a retractor to open the bobo up big enough to drive in a fork lift, or so it seemed. Doc told me, and it was true, that I would have ZERO control over gas for a while. That was true for several years, actually. Fortunately, all farts were silent, so if I was discreet, no one in the room knew from whom it came.

    Doc also told me that I would have zero control over liquid or semi-liquid fecal material for a while. That is another story. [;)]

    Huge lawsuit coming from the parents. He had beans and ham in the school cafeteria prior to his felony windstorm. I am surprised homeland security wasn't called for the biological attack.

    Copy and paste, Texas Penal Code, Sec. 42.01:

    42.01. DISORDERLY CONDUCT. (a) A person commits an
    offense if he intentionally or knowingly:
    (1) uses abusive, indecent, profane, or vulgar
    language in a public place, and the language by its very utterance
    tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace;
    (2) makes an offensive gesture or display in a public
    place, and the gesture or display tends to incite an immediate
    breach of the peace;


    (3) creates, by chemical means, a noxious and
    unreasonable odor in a public place;

    (It is, after all, a chemical reaction that creates intestinal gas, so I have often wondered if this law is applicable to farting.)

    (4) abuses or threatens a person in a public place in
    an obviously offensive manner;
    (5) makes unreasonable noise in a public place other
    than a sport shooting range, as defined by Section 250.001, Local
    Government Code, or in or near a private residence that he has no
    right to occupy;
    (6) fights with another in a public place;
    (7) discharges a firearm in a public place other than a
    public road or a sport shooting range, as defined by Section
    250.001, Local Government Code;
    (8) displays a firearm or other deadly weapon in a
    public place in a manner calculated to alarm;
    (9) discharges a firearm on or across a public road;
    (10) exposes his * or genitals in a public place and
    is reckless about whether another may be present who will be
    offended or alarmed by his act; or
    (11) for a lewd or unlawful purpose:
    (A) enters on the property of another and looks
    into a dwelling on the property through any window or other opening
    in the dwelling;
    (B) while on the premises of a hotel or
    comparable establishment, looks into a guest room not the person's
    own through a window or other opening in the room; or
    (C) while on the premises of a public place,
    looks into an area such as a restroom or shower stall or changing or
    dressing room that is designed to provide privacy to a person using
    the area.
    (b) It is a defense to prosecution under Subsection (a)(4)
    that the actor had significant provocation for his abusive or
    threatening conduct.
    (c) For purposes of this section:
    (1) an act is deemed to occur in a public place or near
    a private residence if it produces its offensive or proscribed
    consequences in the public place or near a private residence; and
    (2) a noise is presumed to be unreasonable if the noise
    exceeds a decibel level of 85 after the person making the noise
    receives notice from a magistrate or peace officer that the noise is
    a public nuisance.
    (d) An offense under this section is a Class C misdemeanor
    unless committed under Subsection (a)(7) or (a)(8), in which event
    it is a Class B misdemeanor.
    (e) It is a defense to prosecution for an offense under
    Subsection (a)(7) or (9) that the person who discharged the firearm
    had a reasonable fear of * injury to the person or to another
    by a dangerous wild animal as defined by Section 822.101, Health and
    Safety Code.

    * is listed in the dictionary as a proper word; a noun; so it is not impolite to use a proper word but sometimes it is impolite to use SLANG.

    Surely, One is able to differentiate between a medical condition, and the repeated deliberate actions of what comes to be a basic perversion.

    There is much stink made about smoking..I find farting far more objectionable.

    For some reason everyone here wants to focus on the farting issue, but it sounds like this was just the exclamation point on his other disruptive behavior. He got hammered because he was overtly interfering with others who were trying to actually learn, not just passing gas.

    Notice it says this little hammerhead was running around shutting down other students computers to destroy their work. This smacks of a dumbazz who can't do the work so he prevents others from doing their's. Sort of like a vandal who tears up other's property just because he doesn't have any. With these sort of actions I'd also be willing to bet this kid was no stranger to his school's disciplinary system.

    If one of my kids had been in this class I'd want him to get a large knot * in him. That being said, criminal charges for kids disrupting class is BS. Schools need to be re-empowered to handle things in-house, and I'm not talking about being sent to a classroom to just hang out with his other dumbazz friends.

    Thank God I don't go to school anymore. To bad I have kids in school and still have to deal with some of their rediculous crap. I'm not the most popular father to get a call from, but at least my kids get A's a few B's and never get in trouble.

    So many parents don't want to raise their children, and depend on the police to do it for them. Now that police are in schools, the teachers no longer feel the need to control their class room since they can just call the school cop to do the discipline for them.

    Whatever happened to teachers and principles handing out spankings to kids like this?
