Man Who Used Mom’s Neck As Tee – Can’t Sue Dr.
=================================
Three days after Alfred L. Head walked out of the psychiatric unit at Inova Fairfax Hospital in July 1998, he beat his mother to death with a baseball bat in their Reston home. Less than two months earlier, he’d been in the same unit after slashing his throat to the windpipe and leaping headfirst off a balcony. Yesterday, a Fairfax County jury rejected his father’s claim that Head’s doctors and nurses were responsible for Zona Head’s death because they let Head leave the hospital. A separate suit for medical negligence, filed by Head himself, is still pending. “I could lose control at any time. I could end it right here.”

=================================
Parents of an autistic child have alleged that one of their son’s caregivers left harassing voice messages for them during their son’s treatment.
“You’re the criminal for letting your wife drink alcohol while she was pregnant with Ronnie, giving him fetal alcohol syndrome and therefore being born autistic,” the voice on the message says. “You’re the criminal, you —hole.”
“That’s OK, go ahead and quote me. You’re a jerk. You’re a fricking jerk.”

New School Puzzles
=================================
When a substitute teacher asked students in a sixth-grade math class at Elwood Middle School to ponder how Farmer Brown would rid his garden of pesky rabbits, they dove into the brain teaser. Farmer Brown had a chance to eradicate the animals using everything from a shotgun to a howitzer.
But this time, bizarre scenarios were portrayed in the stories. In addition to Farmer Brown’s task, one problem asked students to contemplate how beer-brand-named teachers, like Mrs. Schlitz, would punish noisy students. The options included no recess, whipping and shooting.
