Pa. police: 3rd grader gave heroin to classmates

Police say a third-grader in Pennsylvania handed out more than 60 small bags of heroin to his classmates before his teacher discovered them.

Wilkinsburg police say the 8-year-old brought the bags to Turner Elementary School on Tuesday. At a news conference Wednesday, police said some of the bags were found empty in a trash can, but there was no evidence the kids had ingested the drugs.

Police say the bags were stamped with the words "trust me."

School officials sent a letter home to parents about the incident.

Police are investigating how the boy got the drugs.

1. The parents only got a letter?

wouldn't one think that perhaps a visit by the police or social services should be in order?

60 bags is not a small amount.

6. ?

Not sure what you are laughing at.

So I read the article and by the way it was written, it wasn't made clear that it was the other kids parents that got the letters.

3. He brought enough to share with the whole class.

I'll bet that rocked his teacher back on her heels.

7. Where were these kids when I was in the third grade?

These kids today have it so easy. Back in my day we had to walk 5 miles up hill, both ways, in the snow to get our smack.
