The worst field trip EVER

[Fez Hammersticks]

Jesse Shipley, a 17-year-old Port Richmond High School student, was killed on Jan. 9, 2005, when the car in which he was riding collided with another vehicle.

The following day, Jesse's father, Andre, consented to an autopsy. An examiner completed the autopsy, and funeral home personnel picked up the remains that same day. The family held a funeral three days later.

Two months later, classmates of the Shipleys' daughter, Shannon, who was also injured in the accident, took a field trip to the Richmond County Mortuary. Several students noticed a jar holding a human brain suspended in formaldehyde.

"In what can only be described as a surreal coincidence," Mastro wrote, "the label on the jar indicated that the brain was that of Jesse Shipley, a circumstance which evoked strong emotional reactions from some of the students who were present."

Wow, talk about traumatizing. Parents are now suing.​

Nothing wrong if there was paperwork with consent. I mean if you take a field trip to a mortuary, you're already bound to see bad things. Not like going to Disney. Go to a cemetery and happen to pass the tombstone of a student that died months earlier wouldn't be too unlikely if you had signed paperwork to bury the student there.

If they illegally were keeping it without having any fine print consent, and were using it to have a artistic display piece on their shevling, then shame on them and they should probably slap their wrists (nothing to do with the field trip of course). Now if the motuary's INTENT was that they were going to keep the brain and display it when the school was having a future field trip in two months and put it out with a label so they could shock the students, then they could lose some money. That wouldn't be a good joke, as long as it was their intent and not coincidence.

At least it wasn't little Jessie's cock in the jar! BAM!

They should be glad that the name on the jar wasn't "Abby Normal."

Just sayin'.

They should be glad that the name on the jar wasn't "Abby Normal."

Just sayin'.

Or say "Kyron Horman"

Almost 6 years later and the family still has to go through the legal stuff regarding this. Kind of sucks, if you ask me, though I imagine some might say that their lawsuit is what's keeping this going.
