Social Media at the fingertips of idiots is dangerous

My girlfriend (no pics) is an elementary school teacher. One of her students decided to piss his pants during lunch, in the cafeteria. The lunch lady sent him to the clinic, to get dry pants. The only thing they had to fit him was a pair of girl leggings.

When he came back into class, the boy was perfectly fine. And was joking with his classmates about it. My girlfriend even messaged the boy's mom, to let her know what had happened. The mom just messaged her back "ok."

Well, the boy's aunt decided to take to Facebook and make a big spectacle about it. Saying how the boy was bullied for wearing girls' pants, wasn't allowed to use the bathroom, so that's why he pissed himself, etc.; asking everyone to share her post (in which many idiots have).

Now there's people calling for the pricipal, the lunch lady, and the school nurse's jobs. My girlfriend felt bad (even though she knows the kid wasn't bullied or anything), and asked me how I'd feel if that had happened to one of my sons. I told her that I would hope that they got made fun of and embarrassed for having to wear girl's pants. That'd teach them not to piss themselves.

It's crazy how many people just shared that lady's post, and some even tried getting the local media involved. They'd feel stupid if they knew the truth. Moral to the story, there are a lot of idiots and a lot of outlets for them to share their idiocy these days.
