I would say roll with it, but I would also ask are you serious about publishing it? If you are and you know your target market (in other words, what publisher do you think would buy it) then I'd check out some of their books and see if they will let you get that down and dirty. As far as the idea is concerned I think it would make a great novel and movie for that matter.
Go for it!

You cannot take liberties to copy someone else's work. Thats Plagiarism and perhaps the worst thing the author can do.
Annother thing is offence. You cannot write to hurt someone's feeling. But this does not mean that you cannot express your feelings or that you have to please everyone. No thats not possible. What is meant that your writing should be offensive. You may criticise but not abuse. Respect other people's feelings and sentiments as well. If you have no regard for other's sentiments you cannot be a good writer.

you should never cross the lines of believable or the limit to your own knowledge....I put down a book fast (usually mumbling under my breath at the writters incompetence)when I know that the writer hasnt a clue and hasnt done any research on a particular subject.

The only line you should NEVER cross is plagiarism; other than that, the sky's the limit.
Roll with your idea; I probably wouldn't read it but it could have a following.

Sounds interesting. Strange things happen in horror books.
One line I would not cross is graphic descriptions of sexual abuse towards children.

I agree with lonnie, if you are not plagirizing then you'r good to go.
I like the story, will be awesome if it is well written.

you should go for it. there is definately an audience for the unusual.
as far as boundaries go, there is no limitation. however, if you are writing for a particular audience (a teacher, for example) i would make sure your plot is appropriate.

No, the only boundaries are the ones you live by.
