. . . those little shits<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Teachers were thrilled when students at a Brooklyn high school sweetly offered them slices of homemade cake last week.<\/p>\n

But the innocent-looking treat contained a nasty surprise — it was laced with laxatives that sent two educators to the hospital and sickened three other staffers. <\/p>\n

Now, three seniors at the Brooklyn School for Global Studies in Cobble Hill have been suspended for the prank and barred from graduation — and were under arrest last night.<\/p>\n

“It was just cruel and hurtful,” one of the victims, Tom Mancuso, 36, told the Daily News Tuesday. <\/p>\n

. . .<\/p>\n

The students behind Thursday’s stunt weren’t seen as troublemakers — one was a straight-A cheerleader. So no one was suspicious when they doled out the chocolate-iced Bundt cake. <\/p>\n

People who were offered the cake assumed the red chunks inside the yellow filling were candy, but school officials say they were actually Dulcolax tablets. <\/p>\n

“One of the kids said it was baked by his mom. ‘Go ahead, it’s free,'” said Danilo Dungca, 54, who left a job at the Federal Reserve three years ago to teach in the public schools. <\/p>\n

“I’m very close with the kids, so I didn’t think anything of it.” <\/p>\n

As soon as he and Mancuso took a bite, they knew something was wrong. <\/p>\n

“It tasted like someone sprayed hairspray in my mouth. I spit it out,” Mancuso said. “That’s when my lips and my tongue went numb.” <\/p>\n

“It had red chunks that looked like cherries, but they were bitter,” Dungca added, “I spit it out. . . . My mouth was numb. I got sick. I went to the bathroom.”<\/p>\n

. . .<\/p>\n

Some students at the school were blas\u00c3\u00a9 about the cake caper. <\/p>\n

“Nobody’s died from a laxative,” said Shanell James, 17, a senior and friend of Ramirez. “He thought it was funny. I thought it was funny, too.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
