5-year-old brings heroin to day care (MSNBC News)

[Yrys]

It seem the adage " if you didn't bring it, don't pick it up" would apply to something else then
arms... I don't know where the kid got the stuff, but the parents will be under enough scrutiny
to ensure if it's coming from them or not... I wonder if the state has laws that could permit to
test the parents for drugs use for that purpose...

BUFFALO, New York - A 5-year-old New York boy brought small packets of heroin to his day care center and told other
children it was candy, police said.

Six children were rushed by ambulance to a hospital and later released. The boy, his 2-year-old sister and another 2-year-old
girl apparently swallowed some of the drug. None were reported to have been seriously injured in the Tuesday incident, The
Buffalo News reported in its Friday editions.

The boy's parents, Wayne Clamp and Kari Lyn Lee, said their son must have found the "10 pack" of heroin as his mother walked
him and his two sisters to the YWCA Schoolhouse Commons center. Thinking he had found candy, the boy gave it to his sisters
and friends, the parents said.

"It was all wrapped up in waxed paper and they had smile faces stamped on them like these M&Ms," Clamp said, showing a candy bag.
"He didn't think it was something bad," Clamp said. "He said it smelled like bread crumbs." The couple's children and Lee's 7-year-old
son were taken into protective custody and placed with Lee's mother pending a July 11 court date. The parents said neither of them
uses drugs and insisted the heroin did not come from their house.

Meanwhile, operations at the day care were suspended by the state Office of Child and Family Services, pending an investigation.
