This is just amazing to me. I just don't get it. Where is this world going? How could this kid have found these. I'm sure he had no idea what it was, but...hope this article link works so you can see it. This is about 2 hours from me (I'm near Dayton). http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Midwest/03/22/child.cocaine.ap/index.html
He could have eaten it thinking it was flour or some other kid could have and died!!!!!!!!!

If that isn't a case that Child Protective Services should be involved in, I don't know what is........... how horrifying!

It's disgusting. What is wrong with some parents today? These poor children, they don't deserve parents like these.

Did I read this right, the parents disapperared?

I used to work in the HR department of a semi-large company. I got a call one day to get a parent to the phone ASAP, their 8 year old child had taken some Very strong pain killers (the parents prescription) to school to sell. It had never occured to me to talk to my son about not taking medicine from anyone in his class, but I sure do now.

Just think what could have happened if one of the children had taken a little lick.
