A pre-kindergarten boy who announced to his teacher at snack time that he wanted to share pulled nine bags of marijuana out of his jacket pocket, police said on Wednesday.
Police in Meriden, Connecticut, some 20 miles south of Hartford, were called to Hanover Elementary School Tuesday afternoon after the 4-year-old special needs student displayed the drugs, authorities said.
Meriden police said the nine individually wrapped bags of marijuana appeared prepared for sale.
Hanover Elementary School principal Miguel Cardona called it an "extremely unfortunate" and "isolated" incident that was not witnessed by any other students.
"What's so disheartening is this is really an adult issue and problem and adult behavior put a student at risk," Meriden schools superintendent Mark Benigni told Reuters.
"This student had no idea what he brought to school or what the substance was," he added.
Authorities are not releasing the names of the student or parents and police said there is a possibility for arrests pending the outcome of the investigation.
The Department of Children and Families is also looking into the incident.
If you were a student in this class, would you have accepted this Gift? What should be done to the student or his parents? Please write in complete sentences and don't forget spell check!
I would have accepted it because if I was a pre-kindergarten I would not know better.
ReplyDeleteYeah most likely due to the fact i would be in pre-k and not know what i would be accepting
ReplyDeleteI would not have accepted it I don't know why i just wouldn't
ReplyDeleteI don't think i would accept it.I think the parents should be punished and not the little kid.But the kid should have expect it to be bad unless there parents themselves do it in his face and even worse they could have gave him some.
ReplyDeleteNo, its unlady like for girls to smoke in my opinion. Those parents should be prosecuted for exposing them to that.
ReplyDeleteNo. I would have just looked at him.

ReplyDeleteno cause i would ask what it is first
ReplyDeleteI Wouldnt Accept It ! The Parents Are Not Payin Attention If Their Four Year Old Has Weed In Their Pocket !!
ReplyDeleteOmg that is too funny to me. I personally think that the parents should be questioned and punished. I mean the fact that you have weed accessible to a four year is bad parenting if you ask me. I would never have taken that weed.
