JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- An 18-month-old was treated for having cocaine in her system after a worker at her church preschool noticed the girl acting unusual, authorities said Wednesday.

The girl, who is not being named, was taken to the hospital by her parents after the worker at Promise Land Preschool at First Baptist Church of Mandarin, who is also related to the toddler, noticed she would not eat and was unsteady on her feet on Monday.

"When the mother picked the child up she was not as active as usual, walked only on her tip-toes and was bobbling and staggering," the report said. "The child would not eat or allow parents to examine her ears or head."


The girl was taken to Wolfson Children's Hospital for examination, where she tested positive for cocaine. Officials said she is expected to be fine.

The toddler's parents tested negative for cocaine, authorities said. The parents told authorities the girl was fine when she was dropped off at the school.

1. Damn fundie druggies!

Don't they know that using drugs will lead to DANCING?

[xultar]

2. There is cocaine @ that school.

3. Very odd.

I wonder if mom got her powdered donuts before school or something like that?
If it was slipped into snacktime, more than one would have been affected.

5. Parents tested clean

I wonder if Uncle Leroy left a rock in the bathroom?

7. ....

:spray:

6. Could be something as simple as a baggie accidentally left on the playground

who knows? :shrug:

8. That's a good guess.

Children put everything in their mouths.

Still..... I bet there's lots more to this story involving the parents and their home life!

10. why does it have to be the parents? why not the preschool?

[FredStembottom]

13. Doesn't have to be.

But a pre-school lacing kids treats with cocaine is unheard of - while homes with grinding and awful drug problems is as common as April showers.

I'm just going with the averages.

17. parents were clean

[FredStembottom]

19. But as someone says above: Maybe Uncle Louie isn't.

...or the parent's are now but weren't a year ago and the child found parts of that old life in a drawer etc. etc.

21. It seems like other kids would have been affected

I can't imagine any school deliberately giving kids drugs. I wonder if one of the teachers had it in a purse or something.

But my hunch is she didn't injest the coke at school.

4. really strange story

[WindRavenX]

9. it's Florida.

Seriously, the weirdest fucking stories come out of that state...

[SteppingRazor]

11. Wouldn't have it any other way...

Especially being as I'm in the journalism industry. If you're gonna tell stories, nothing beats Florida.

[WindRavenX]

14. LOL I bet

The Terri Shivo fiasco was an epic cluster-fuck that's *never* gonna be topped.

Jesus on a trailer hitch > everything else. Case closed. Game over, man.

12. Don't they though?

There's even a book called "Weird Florida."

[FredStembottom]

15. That's a series of roadside oddity books.

There's Weird Minnesota, too! (Biigest ball of twine in Minne-sow-da! - sing along!)

16. what made them test her for cocaine?

That's suspicious...

[Horse with no Name]

18. She was acting strangely

and was taken to the hospital where they would typically do a tox screen.

[ComerPerro]

20. yeah, exactly. Plus, they may have suspected cocaine based on how she was acting
