School nurse Jane Riley talked to us about the paper cut epidemic. "It almost always happens the same way. Someone takes the dangerous side of paper too lightly and they get what they deserve. Don't get me wrong, I've been safely using paper for over thirty years, but if you play with fire, you're going to get burned."
When the misuse of paper was first brought to light, many in town were concerned. Guilford High School parent Chris Lowe said that he was worried for his seventeen year old daughter's safety. "I was scared to send Jen to school. I mean guns and knives are bad, but paper is so scary because nobody sees the possibility of violence."
