rose2summer Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 If they press charges, they can go two routes, sue you financially and/or put a misdemeanor on your record. If you decide to apply for colleges/universities, they will most likely turn you down for that, since there is a box you must check that says do you have a criminal record or any misdemeanors. Jobs will also have access to this information when they conduct a background check and may not hire as a result. I recommend talking to this teacher and saying you will do community service or anything possible not to have this placed on your record. You should talk to a lawyer. What made you decide to do this? It's dangerous and could have caused a very bad reaction. Link to comment
RileyRedleg05 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Uhm...thats not really a prank nowadays. Its more like assault/poisoning. First come to grips with the fact that you were wrong, and apologize. If you aren't sorry for your actions, then the court will eventually read that by your demeanor, and of course, you'll be slammed hard. However, if you make leaps to present yourself well, and remorseful, things MIGHT turn out better. What were you thinking? Dont they egg houses or smash mailboxes anymore? Link to comment
Fallout Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 You should go to that teacher and apologize....even if it will eat you up and he's a mean teacher or something you have to do it...tho the prank is really funny bad choice to brag about it... Link to comment
BornToResist Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Maybe I'm getting old or something, but that's REALLY MEAN. Geez there's some things you just don't do, and messing with someone's food or drink is just not one of them. I would press charges if I was him... But I got charged with a misdemeanor when I was like, 16 or 17 and I did community service and had to pay a fine. Then I never heard anything about it ever again. I think my mom had my records sealed or something but I'm not quite sure about that. But honestly it hasn't affected me negatively after that. Mine wasn't for assault though, so it might be a little different. I can't imagine what you were thinking. I hope you learned your lesson. Link to comment

renaissancewoman101 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I think that since you are still a minor and you get charged for this, you can have the records sealed. If you get it sealed, it will disappear and no one will know about it, I think, unless you commit other crimes as an adult. Not sure since I have never been in this situation. Link to comment
4thelast1 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I work in lawenforcement. I have seen this done before. They can charge you with an assault. Depending if he presses charges or if the DA charges for him. Nowadays the victim doesnt press the charges, the state does that if it is serious enouph. You could get anywhere from probation(with no prior criminal record) community svce. or time. There are different types of "time". There is the ankle bracelet or detention facility.Though they dont like to go that route with first time delinquents. If and when you get adjudicated you parents can get your records sealed. Not much can follow you into your adulthood if this happens. Good luck and next time think before you jump. Link to comment
DN Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Please note that MystikalDawn lives in Canada where the laws are not necessarily the same as in the US Link to comment
NKP Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 LOL i have always wanted to do that to a teacher when i was in school, but my gut told me not to so i didnt. Talk to the teacher tell him that your really sorry and that you will do anything for him if he doesnt charge you Link to comment

MystikalDawn Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Yea thanks for het replies guys...I did call him last night saying how sorry i was and how irresponcible it was...I also wrote a letter to him and am going to give it to him today...I've got a meeting at the school at 1:30 to disguss what will happen...I know one thing is for sure...I'l never pull a prank like that again lol Link to comment
rocio Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 You won't get a criminal record since it is your first offense. If they push it, take it to court and plead not guilty. A criminal record can ruin a young person's life and they won't give you one unless they feel like you're really a bad person, which you're not. They might give you community service or something, if anything. And please, stay away from this kind of stuff. Even shoplifting something that costs $10 can seriously ruin your life and future.

Seems to me you are only apologizing out of self-interest and because you got caught. I was a teacher - I was underpaid, overworked but I had much dedication and loyalty to the students. Hopefully your teacher won't decide that this is the last straw. Frankly, I hope it stays on your record -- that will act as a natural laxative each and every time you go for an interview or try to get into college and have to explain what you did and why.

Luck of the Irish Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Well, isn't anyone else interested what the outcome was? Did he have to run to the crapper? Canadians don't have much of a sense of humor. Link to comment
