Two 5th graders were hospitalized after one of them brought weed gummies into the Livonia school - the same school where a kindergartner brought margaritas to snack time.
Krstle Morton contacted FOX 2 after learning her son was given a marijuana edible in their 5th grade classroom. She said her son didn't know that the ‘funny' feeling he was experiencing was a high from the THC in the edibles.
"We might have to open up the conversation of drugs in elementary school because this is a prime example of what can happen," Morton said.This is the second time in two weeks that a Michigan student brought weed gummies to school. A similar situation played out at an elementary school near Flint and the mom in that case was charged with second-degree child abuse."The parent is number 1 to blame. Somebody is not watching this child. Someone is not paying attention to this child.
While edibles like these look like candy, they certainly are not – and parents need to take responsibility to keep these kinds of products out of the reach of their children. While we try to keep an eye on everything our students bring to school, that’s simply not possible."We were distressed to realize one of our fifth-graders brought a marijuana-infused gummy to school Monday and shared it with a peer. Out of an abundance of caution, both children were sent to receive medical attention.
