Brandon Kivi, aged 15, saves his girl-friend a considerable amount of pain and discomfort, and possibly her life.

For the record, the parents of both teenagers are supportive of his actions, claiming that he did exactly the right thing.

Also for the record, I am an asthmatic myself. I know exactly how the young lady was feeling, and exactly why Brandon did what he did.

This (HERE) would normally be a "hero" story. "But wait, there's more!"

Now it appears that he's a likely candidate for jail, because of the lack of judgment exercised by his high school's principal, school nurse, and the cops.

And all these officials are yelling "policy" and "duty".

Dimwits, and incompetent to boot!
