GAHANNA, Ohio (AP) -- A 13-year-old boy who wanted to make his own version of "Jackass: The Movie" threw a cup of boiling water on his best friend as he slept, causing second-degree burns, police said.
Collin Gaffney was charged with felony assault.
Police Lt. Jeff Spence said Gaffney videotaped the May 19 incident and others in earlier weeks. The boy told police he planned to make his own movie of pranks similar to "Jackass," a movie version of the defunct MTV show.
Gaffney and other boys from this Columbus suburb appear throughout the hourlong video of pranks and stunts. Spence said no one was hurt in the rest of the tape.
The MTV show and movie included a warning against trying stunts at home.
Gaffney's mother, Bernadean Decicco, said she didn't know that the boys were imitating "these stupid TV shows."
"They did many stunts that Collin could have been killed at. Fortunately, he didn't get hurt," she said.
The maximum penalty he could receive in juvenile court is confinement in a youth detention center until age 21.
The father of 14-year-old Shaka Townsend said Collin has apologized, but the Townsend family still decided to press charges.
"We felt that grounding was not appropriate to handle this," Townsend said. "We thought the authorities needed to handle it, that it needed to be official
i for one don't seem to remember anything that has to do with boiling water. i agree with shiznit that they just say jackass made them do it, it all goes back to beavis and butt-head;the kid lit his house on fire and said ''i was watching beavis and butt-head and beavis was playing wit a lighter...'' or something like that. they do it to take the heat off of themselves. i feel anyone stupid enough to actually do that deserves to be hurt, i mean do they not have enough common sense to know hot water=burning
its stupid people like this who make me wanna go on killing sprees :x

dude.. you can;t deny that if it wasn't for jackass/cky the kid PROBABLY wouldn't have been videotaping himself pouring boiling water on some other kid.. I mean people don't just fuckin do that.. they were probably just a couple of dumb kids that wanted to make a homegrown movie similar to those here on the forums, based on the CKY/Jackass genre. They were 14.. and they aren't going to think up an idea like that them selves. So grow up and fucking deal with it.. jackass did cause this one. No, this isn't always the case.. but yes this time it was.. Yes the kids were fucking stupid.. but that doesn't mean they weren't trying to copy jackas. so stop trying to stick up for jackass all the time, and deal with the fact that you are influenced by society. :!:

i agree with you safety,its just that i feel kids should just fess up and say it was a dumb idea,we shouldn't have even tried it. i never denied that if it wasnt for jackass the kid wouldnt do that, in fact it is the reason. i was just bringing up the fact that this type of stuff has happened before, a la beavis and butt-head.

well thats cool then.. but you sounded like you thought that jackass and CKY are completely guilt free... which isn't the case.. and Im just tired of people trying to take the blame off of celebrities all the time.. I mean if they are in the public eye.. they are going to be imitated, and taking the blame is the price of fame.

i agree, you see music stars dance in some style and then kids dance that way. it just gets me mad, cky or jackass never did anything that could hurt anyone that bad[while sleeping, the wiped poop, dropped buckets but thats basically it besides antiquing]. but the kids probally wanted to be more extreme or some shit.

well shit dude... steve-o lights himself on fire, and staples his asscheeks together... and shit like that.. they throw darts at eachothers asses.. they use tazers on eachother.. stun guns.. in CKY4 (the only oen I have seen) they roll eachother off a building in a barrel..
that shit can cause some serious injury... some of it much more serious than some wussy ass 2nd degree burns.. which consists of a couple blisters.. and thats it. remember the quote "My poor fucking spine.."? ya.. he coulda been paralyzed.. so don't try to say that they dont do anything dangerous to eachother.. because they do!
Dude, that is offically, the dumbest thing ever.

While you can't deny that Jackass or CKY inspires proably about 95% of the people to do the stunts I feel that this kid is a stupid shit and it is mostly his fault. Everyone was giving the kid who jumped off the building a hard time saying he was a dumb fuck but I kind of felt sorry for him. I'm sure that all of you guys have tried that stuff and wouldn't want the whole internet world talking about you. If he would have landed in the pool it would have be sweet and that would be it. The point I'm trying to make is that at least that stunt had the potential to be unharmful, this fuck head used BOILING water, what the hell did he think was going to happen, there is no way that could end with everybody just laughing because I for one would be pissed as fuck. I can see doing some stuff to people in their sleep but this just goes over the line and I feel it is about 80% the kid's fault for trying to do something that boggles common sense and 20% for the influence of CKY.

the kids a dumb fuck, thats the point. sure jackass made him want to make a movie, but nobodt ever made him throw 300 degree water on his friend. anybody who is stupid enuff to do something that could serioslly hurt his friend is nobodys fault but his own. if i got hurt, id say its my own damn falt. these kids ruined what could be a good thing in jackass.
i hope that fucker learns that hot things can seriouslly hurt people, and doing that isnt funny

phatphil.. for your information.. lol since you are a dumbass.. water can't be any hotter than 212 degrees farenheit.. 100 degrees celsius at sea level or above. so unless he was about 5 miles under the earth's surface... no wait.. the water still wasn't 300 degrees (ya jackass) so yeah.. you get my point. Water doesn;t get that hot.. lol so get it right.
As for icyhotstunta.. you are still wrong. The kid is 100% responsible for his actions. Just because he saw jackass do it doesn't mean he had to. Everyone is 100% responsible for his own actions. However, Jackass did inspire him, so they have some guilt in the matter.. they aren't responsible for it per se.. because they never MADE him do anything. But if it wasn't for them, he would not have done it. See what I mean?

i think this might be turning into a bigger issue than it should be. yes, the whole insident probably wouldnt have happened if it wasn't for jackass/cky, because of the fact that he was taping it as if to do an amature version. but the fact that he chose to pour boiling water on his friend is the dumbest thing he could have done. so both points made seem to be correct but just looking at it from different angles. so lets not fight boys. especialy over little kids we dont even know. :D :D :D :D

mr safety i was exagerating but you get my point. please dont make fun of me i have little self confidence as it is. now im gonna go cry
Mr. Safety

lol.. dude I'll let it go since your only 13 and probably haven't even learned that yet anyway. I just automatically make the false assumption most of the time that people that I am interacting with are approximately the same age as I am rather than 13 or 14 years old.
now im gonna go cry
lol silly emo kids :wink:
But my opinion still stands. The kid is a dumbass for doing it, but there is still some correlation between him doing it, and him watching CKY and Jackass. There just isn't any getting around it. This is a problem that is going to continue while jackass and CKY are the new big thing. Its the same thing that happened when the WWF started getting big.. kids everywhere started smacking their other retarded little 10 year old friends with chairs, and jumping off houses into eachother. It was pretty stupid for them to do it, but you can't deny that it was because of the WWF.
We our just discussing different point of views.
I honestly don't see where the discussion is coming from. Its pretty simple. If you don't think so, read back through my threads and learn to agree with what I have said. :D Its the only way you'll learn anything :)

Yeah, I heard about this too. Unfortunately, I too am from Ohio and I can tell you that there are a lot of retards in this state. I do wanna make my own video, but I'm smart enough to know that HOT WATER BURN BABY! And even if I did want to use boiling water, I'd pour it on myself. And if I did get hurt, I wouldn't say I was "imitating" Jackass, especially since the stunt had nothing to do with Jackass. And if I were to sue anybody, I'd sue myself for the temporary lapse in common sense.

ok the kid was influenced by jackass, but it wasn't the shows fault. -----fault ( P ) Pronunciation Key (fôlt) - Responsibility for a mistake or an offense; culpability. See Synonyms at blame. what mistake did jackass make that made this kid throw boiling water on his friend? and you can't say that having that show was the mistake. i think we should stop using jackass as a defense and send these kids to a mental institution

yeah i agree with blink. when he threw the water on him did it occur to him this won't stop burning.
i set the top of my brothers head on fire using spray deoderant (yeah that is a stupid idea), but that wont even burn to the skin. it made great footage though.

Hey, i did the excact same thing, except with hairspray!!
O, and as far as being mean to people while they're sleeping goes, some cast members in Triple 0 held a burning lighter to their friends foot while he was sleeping, the whole time I was watching it I was thinking, I'd kick their ass for this shit!!

thats like that kid who is in a coma from when he tried to jump into a pool and busted himself up and they blamed Jackass but as far as i know that was never in Jackass it was in CKY2K or CKY4 which have an eighteens age limit so all you can blame is the retardedness of stupid retards.
RASChris
07-15-2003, 01:43 AM
I heard he just shattered his legs, not went into a coma, but there are stunts like that shown in the steve-o video quite often
