Good Deed Doesn't Go Unpunished

|


Brandon Kivi and his girlfriend Andra Ferguson have a lot in common, including using the same type of asthma inhaler. So when Ferguson began having breathing problems and found she'd forgotten her inhaler, Kivi let her use his. Her mother says the boy may have saved Ferguson's life. But officials at Caney Creek High School in Texas, where Kivi and Ferguson are students, have a different view of matters. They say Kivi violated school drug policy by letting her use the inhaler on school grounds. They had him arrested for delivering a dangerous drug, suspended him for three days, and may expel him.
