Is it fair to ask that people should pass Biology class before being allowed to reproduce?

Tradgic. It's pop, not soda.

An investigation revealed the girl had been forced to drink approximately 2.4 liters of water and soda over one to two hours as punishment.

I'd like to know more details behind that investigation.

Just a general response to these sorts of cases: Can we please bring back the stockades? Not only that but allow parents (real parents, not the mere genetic contributers this type of scum represents) can come up one at a time and just blast them right in the face. Maybe $10 will buy you a kick.

This is sick.

People do know that if you drink to much you can die right?

actually not all. i,ve seen plenty of people that think if you drink too much you'll just puke.

I'm almost certain that if these people could think, they wouldn't have ended up as parents the first place.

It's exceptionally scary that such twisted individuals found each other and mated. Who the hell considers drinking mad amounts to be punishment? Who knows what else the poor baby had to endure.

Sick.
