Kindergartner Found With Heroin
Wednesday, November 16, 2005

PHILADELPHIA — A kindergarten teacher found eight bags of heroin in a 5-year-old student's pocket, Philadelphia police said.

The matter was under investigation and the boy's mother could be charged, police Inspector William Colarulo said.

The heroin was discovered Oct. 25. On Tuesday, the school sent a letter home to parents. The letter did not explain why the school waited three weeks to tell parents. It was sent home after a story about the incident aired on WCAU-TV.

Neither the child nor his classmates at Richmond Elementary School were harmed, a schools spokesman said.

"We are shocked and saddened, outraged" that a parent or parents could place a child in such danger, said spokesman Fernando Galliard.

The boy and his three siblings have been turned over to the city's Department of Human Services and placed in temporary custody, spokesman Ted Qualli said. The agency was looking for relatives who could eventually take care of the children.

Why the heck would they wait three weeks?

[sv650s]

yeah and what retards leave heroine around 4 kids?

[GForce957]

They waited 3 weeks cause they got high off all 8 bags and it took em a while to remember to send a letter

What danger? Did the kid also have a syringe, spoon, water, lighter etc?

yea, but cant you be killed by ODing if you swallow it, i dont know how much was in one of those bags but a 5-year old, if he swallowed 8 bags worth he'd be dead for sure, it gets into the bloodstream eventually.

[imtheoneandonlyD]

I think if a 5 yr old did just about 8 bags of anything he would almost be dead.

yeah I was actually thinking about the same thing.

Still, 5 year olds, did they know what it was?

C'mon, Oz. Really. I'm all for adults to carry on as they choose to, but we have a duty to protect those that are too young to protect themselves.

First, if the parents are heroin addicts, they may not have been thinking at all. Second, the kid probably just found the bags, or perhaps some adult asked them to carry them around. I've seen kids try to eat the darndest things, and making a "protein shake" out of the heroin isn't outside the realm of possibility.

just like everyone said, who would suspect a 5 yr old of having heroin...obviously this was a lot and the parents were prolly concerned about the cops or someone else breaking into their house or searching it and then confiscating it. so my guess is that they were "keeping it safe" on the child

thats just sick. Stupid parents. And stupid school for shooting it after gettin it from tha kid. Why.....argggggg.... that pisses me off

[travis712]

Suprised he didn't eat it or give some to his friends, etc. I wonder if he knew what it was. After all it happened in Philadelphia..
