4 Year Old Tests Positive For Cocain

http://www.wstm.com/Global/story.asp?S=1622081

TROY, N.Y. (AP) - Police here want to know why a four-year-old girl tested positive for cocaine.

A test showed the drug in the urine of the preschooler after her teacher became suspicious when she saw the girl and her Head Start classmates playing with small balloons, police said.

The children behaved strangely when asked who brought the balloons to class, according to police. Since the children touched the balloons with their mouths, the teacher called in a health monitor, who then noticed the girl's vital signs were elevated.

The girl and four other preschoolers who handled the balloons were taken to a hospital for drug tests. Police said the school notified the parents immediately and the parents gave hospital workers permission to test their children.

Only the four-year-old girl's test came back positive, police said.

Tests on the balloons showed they weren't tainted with cocaine, but state crime-lab workers are double-checking to make sure those results are correct.

"It's likely that the innocent introduction of balloons into this daycare brought us to the point of finding dangerous drugs in the system of a four-year-old," Troy Police Detective John Cooney said. "We don't routinely test our four-year-old preschoolers for dangerous drugs."

The child is home with her mother in Troy while police and social workers continue to investigate.

"We're interviewing everyone who has come into contact with her," Cooney said.

Police said the girl's relatives have cooperated during interviews and submitted to drug tests.

i shudder at the thought. for some reason, when something horrible happens to an adult, i of course feel sorry for those who are affected. but when something happens to a child or animal, that just fucking depresses me...

I wouldn't feel TOO bad - I mean, doctors give kids suffering from ADD straight up meth if they don't take to Ritalin. If someone gave her cocain, well... that is a bit disturbing, but her life doesn't sound like it was in danger or anything. Maybe she just got into her parent's stash and thought it was sugar or something. :-p
