Teens typically play practical jokes on each other, but one joke went a bit too far and left a teen boy in a coma. The 17-year-old boy who is hospitalized was goofing off with another group of boys returning to class from their lunch break. One of the kids thought it would be funny to prank him the way most teens do each other, but didn't realize how deadly it was going to be.
Not only is this instance scary, but if your sons aren't careful, it can happen to them too!

The whole incident unfolded after one of the boys tugged at the victim's testicles to the point that he had a heart attack.Teachers tried performing CPR on the teen, but to no avail and had to rush him to the hospital. Doctors currently have him placed in a medically induced coma in ICU.
Fortunately he is in stable condition, but has yet to wake up. The boy's family is reportedly taking this as an accident and prank gone wrong. They don't believe there was any malicious intention in the act, but just pray that there is no permanent damage.
Police are continuing to investigate the case and have not revealed if the other teen is set to face some charges.
I never in a million years thought that pulling a guy's scrotum could cause him to have a heart attack! I'm pretty sure the other boy didn't intend on hurting the victim, but it just proves that horsing around can be dangerous. Hopefully this boy recovers quickly from this incident with as little damage as possible. As parents, the best thing we can do is to teach our kids to keep their hands to themselves to avoid any problems.
