SWEET SPRINGS, Mo. Officials at a small northwest Missouri elementary school say they were stunned when a kindergarten student brought his mom's crack pipe and some drugs for show-and-tell.

The boy showed the items on Sept. 6 at Sweet Springs Elementary School.

School officials called police.

The boy's 32-year-old mother was arrested and is
charged with possession of a controlled substance and one count of first-degree child endangerment.

Bond was set at $7,500 for 32-year-old Michelle Marie Cheatham.

Court records indicate that the teacher told police that the boy had the pipe and "several baggies of crack rocks."

Officials say the drugs were worth about $3,700.

A family friend told that the boy is being cared for by relatives.

A source close to the investigation said Cheatham's life began spiraling out of control after her husband died earlier this year in a car crash and she received a sizeable military pension.

Cheatham posted bail.
She is now in the hospital after experiencing complications from a previous gastrointestinal surgery, the family friend said.
