A preschooler’s show-and-tell item may land his mother and father in jail

 Police in Indianapolis say a 4-year-old boy took crack rocks worth $10,000 to school for show-and-tell on Monday.

 

The boy packed the drugs into his book bag to take them to his Head Start class. When teachers realized what the substance was they called authorities.

 

Police then went to the boy’s home looking for his parents, but they weren’t home.

Officers did arrest at least one of the boy’s relatives who they believe is also involved with drugs.

Police said the boy didn’t exactly know what he TOOK to school.

"He took it out and was showing other students this particular substance and was describing it as flour," said Sgt. Roger Tuchek of the Indianapolis Police Department.

"Other parents’ irresponsibility could have cost another child’s life by another kid bringing drugs into the school," said Misty Dixon, a Head Start parent.

Authorities have issued warrants to arrest the boy’s parents. The boy and his older sister are in child protective custody.
