A kindergartener in Michigan, US brought a premixed alcoholic drink to school and shared it with several classmates, which made them drunk.?
The student studying at Grand River Academia in Livonia shared the margarita mix with five other students who are all aged five. The student who brought it told others it was juice.?
The little girl reportedly brought in single-serve bottles in her backpack. The school said in a letter to parents that 'disciplinary measures' will be taken against the student.
Alexis Smith, a parent of a five-year-old student enrolled in the same school told NBC affiliate?WDIV-TV?that she was contacted by the school about the incident. She was told a student brought a premixed bottle of Jose Cuervo to school and her daughter was one of four classmates with whom it was shared.?
"I asked her, like, 'Is my daughter okay?'" Smith recalled to WDIV-TV. "The teacher said, 'She's right here, and she looks okay'. And then I said, 'Okay, well, how much did she drink?' I had a small conversation with my daughter - nothing big - and she told me the girl knew it was liquor."
"If your child knows what it is, nothing wrong with it, but they should know not to touch it. That it's not for kids."
Another parent, Dominique Zanders' daughter reportedly had four or five sips by the time the school called her mother and said her daughter 'felt woozy [and] a little dizzy.'
'The girl poured it in her cup and she drank it and the girl ended up telling her what it is, and she went and told the teacher there is liquor in this cup, and the teacher gave her a funny face,' Zanders said.?
On Thursday, the school principal reportedly sent out a letter addressing the incident to the school community. "A student brought a premixed alcoholic drink to school, which was shared with a few other students," the letter read, according to WDIV. "Upon learning of this, school leadership followed proper medical protocols and parents of the students involved were contacted immediately."?
"Disciplinary measures will be taken in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct," the letter reportedly continued. "Student privacy laws prevent me from sharing specific details. What I can share is that the safety and well-being of our school community remains a priority, which is why we immediately addressed the situation."
Strict precautions need to be taken.?
