A Toronto school principal who pleaded guilty to throwing human excrement at a 12-year-old boy may get her job back, officials said on Tuesday.

Maria Pantalone, 49, a sister of Toronto's deputy mayor, was granted an absolute discharge on assault charges Monday after a judge said she "had already suffered enough," according to court documents.

The charges stemmed from an incident on July 30, 2006, in which police said Pantalone threw feces at the boy, who was not one of her students, hitting him on the shoulder. The circumstances of the assault cannot be described due to a court publication ban designed to protect the identity of the victim. The judge in the case, however, said they were unique.

So, uh, I want to know whose feces they were, and why they were close at hand to be thrown.

Because, you know, that's going to change how I feel about her getting her job back, significantly.

Yeah, no kidding. If it was something like "The kid dumped crap on her doorstep, rang the ball and ran, and she pegged him with it", more power to her.

That was actually my first thought when I heard the story on the radio the other morning.

"Why were feces the most convenient thing to throw at the kid?"

Whatever he did to her must have been far worse. I'd like to know what happened to him......
