PHILADELPHIA – A Philadelphia first grader was hauled off by the Special Victims Unit after a little show and tell at William Cramp Elementary School Tuesday.

Police contend a first-grade student brought in 14 small baggies of heroin and showed them to his classmates at lunch, two of whom told authorities, CBS Philly reports.

Police said the child who brought the drugs to school got nervous and tossed them in the trash.

“One of the students brought a baggie to a noontime aide and another told a Philadelphia police officer at the school at the time for the DARE program,” Philadelphia schools spokesman Fernando Gallard told the news site.

ABC 6 reports four of the students who handled the heroin were taken to St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children for an evaluation and checked out fine.

The case was taken over by the Special Victims Unit and officers are now working to determine how the child obtained the drugs. Authorities have not filed charges in the case.

William Cramp principal Deanda Logan sent a very vague letter home to parents about the situation.

From ABC 6:

This letter is a reminder to please check your child’s school bag every day and remove ANYTHING that does not belong in a school. Today, one of your child’s classmates, a first grader, brought an item to school that we believe is illegal.

Once the item was discovered by school staff, a report was immediately made, all students were checked by the school nurse, and the Philadelphia police were contacted and came to the school.

Again, we BEG you to please check school bags and pockets each day so that all students and staff are safe every day. Please feel free to call me if you would like to discuss further.

Parents, of course, were upset by the drug bust.

One unidentified parent told CBS Philly he questions “what else bad could have happened.”

“These kids could have eaten it and thought it was candy,” he said. “They can overdose.”

Several folks who commented online believe the problem with very young students ending up with hard drugs at school is becoming commonplace.

“Lately these types of stories pop up just about every other week, it’s no longer a surprise,” Steven Nelson posted at NBC 10.

“I wish I could still be shocked by this,” Mitzi Betterlate added.

It’s at least the second time in the last year a Philadelphia first grader has brought heroin to school.

Marie Hunter, 32, and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Christopher Troy-Jenkins White, where charged with reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of a child and other drug crimes after Hunter’s 6-year-old daughter brought 11 packs of heroin to Barry Elementary School in June.

In that case, two packets appeared to have been opened, and one looked like it was chewed on. School officials rushed 20 students to the hospital, and all checked out ok. The young girl and her three siblings were taken by the Department of Human Services while their mother was in jail, NBC Philadelphia reports.
