Kids Get Sick After Eating "leafy" Breakfast Bars at School
French Schoolchildren Hospitalized After Eating Drug 'Breakfast Bars' Updated: Wednesday, 30 Mar 2011, 7:21 AM CDT Published : Wednesday, 30 Mar 2011, 7:21 AM CDT (NewsCore) - French police were investigating Wednesday how a bag of hashish resin blocks, eaten by kids who mistook them for breakfast cereal bars, came to be left in the grounds of a school. The students told teachers that they found the package containing the "leafy-flavored breakfast bars" hidden between a bush and the school fence during recess Friday, Le Progres newspaper reported. One child from the school for six to 11-year-olds in Tarentaize, near St. Etienne, in central France, was rushed to the hospital later that evening by his worried mother, along with a piece of the "leafy" bar. Tests confirmed the bar that contained cannabis resin, and the boy was sent home at 11:30pm local time. None of the other children who ate the bars became ill. The mother of the boy who got sick filed a police complaint against the school for the "admission of harmful substances." But Inspector of Schools Pierre-Michel Brunel said that the "school team responded with vigilance but could not assume that the children had eaten [cannabis]." |
