WALTHAM, Mass. -- Three middle school students in Waltham are facing serious trouble.
According to police, three McDevitt Middle School students tried to get their teacher to drink some type of cleaning solution by hiding it in her water bottle on the morning of November 12.
Fortunately, the teacher was unharmed as she noticed that her water bottle had been tampered with in time.
Local residents said they are glad the teacher noticed in time.
"That's a crime, if somebody can be injured like that, because if she doesn't smell it before drinking it, then it can be very dangerous," said one man.
Household cleaners, especially those with ammonia or bleach, can lead to vomiting, internal burning and bleeding, organ damage, and even death.
The police investigation concluded that the students, two 13-year olds and a 12-year old, put some sort of cleaner in the water bottle. It is unclear how much, but the teacher was able to smell it.
All three students have been charged with attempted poisoning and were suspended indefinitely.
