Eight-year-old hands out 'heroin' at school
April 15, 2010 - 7:03AM
US police have confiscated what they suspect are 50 to 60 small bags of heroin from a student who was passing them out at his primary school near Pittsburgh.
Tests will be done on the substance, but Wilkinsburg police suspect the eight-year-old boy was passing around the drug at Turner Primary School.
Officials say the bags had the words "trust me" stamped on them and would have a street value of about $US1000 ($1070) if it is indeed heroin.
Wilkinsburg School District officials sent home a letter to parents saying some students may have touched the substance.
The letter also asks them to discuss the matter with their children.
Police are investing, but no charges have been filed.
