Teen Charged With Vomiting On Teacher

OLATHE, Kan. -- A Kansas high school student who vomited on his Spanish teacher has been charged with battery against a school official.

The misdemeanor charge was filed Monday against the Olathe Northwest High School student. The 17-year-old was charged as a juvenile and his name was not released.

Prosecutors said the vomiting was intentional. The teacher, David Young, called the act "outrageous."

The student's father said his son told him he did not mean to throw up on the teacher, but had been made uncontrollably ill by the stress of final exams.

The father said the district expelled his son and recommended he enroll in an alternative school in the fall.
