As teachers know all too well, kids can get distracted by the smallest things, which is why one school teacher told one of her kindergarten students to put away a candy wrapper he was fiddling with in his hands.
The boy put it away, but within a few minutes, he was back to playing with it. Since the 5-year-old couldn’t listen, the teacher went to confiscate it, yet when she looked closer at the white ‘candy’ wrapper, she realized it was a packet of heroin. She then looked in his lunchbox and found 29 more packs of the deadly drug, which easily could have killed him and any other kids had he given them out to classmates.
Afraid that the little boy had eaten some of the ‘candy’ the teacher called 911 to rush her student to the Capital Health Medical Senter in New Jersey to make sure there was no heroin in his system. Luckily, all the tests came back negative and the boy was perfectly safe, however, now police are investigating where the drugs came from in the first place.
“Thank God he wasn’t giving it to other students. My daughter got grilled last night. I said, ‘Don’t take anything!’,” one parent from the International Academy of Trenton said after the school contacted parents to explain what had been found in a kindergarten student’s lunchbox.
