Joe, 12, began calling himself "Magneto Man" last year, after his teachers concluded that his presence could crash the school computers.
"Another student could use a computer, and it would be fine. But if Joe was on it, weird things started to happen," said Marie Yerdon, computer lab teacher at Lura Sharp Elementary School in Pulaski. "I think there's something in his body chemistry, something in his makeup, that causes the computers to go haywire."
