A daycare employee in Texas was arrested after a THC exposure sent four toddlers to the hospital on Halloween.
Franchise owner, Mike Casey said, “The students at Primrose School of Prosper showed unusual symptoms of illness before being treated at a local hospital.”
“Evidence suggests these four students were exposed to THC, the active ingredient found in marijuana,” Prosper authorities said.
Anisah Burks, a now former teacher with the school, was arrested for allegedly exposing students to Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
Burks, 35, is facing four counts of injury to a child and one count of possession of a controlled substance.
The children are all around a year old and received treatment at the Children’s Medical Plano before being released.
Workers called authorities after realizing the children were sick. Once officers arrived, everyone evacuated the school and Burks left.
Police said, “Burks’ black hoodie was still at the school and had a ziplock bag with THC-laced gummies in it. We are not sure at this time how the children got a hold of the gummies.”
Burks spoke with police later Monday night and was booked the next morning. She has since been fired from the school.
In a statement Primrose School of Prosper said, “As part of our stringent safety measures, we conduct background checks on all teachers and staff members prior to their hire. The individual involved was subjected to those same background checks as all our teachers.”
“Words cannot sufficiently express our deep concern over this matter. We have every reason to believe, including from the authorities, that this was an isolated incident involving one teacher who was immediately terminated,” said the school in a separate statement. “We are praying for a quick recovery for these children and are relieved that they are all home from the hospital.”
City officials also said, “We appreciate the continued cooperation of Primrose School of Prosper as well as the public during the ongoing investigation.”
I hope these charges are felonies so that, if convicted, she spends time incarcerated for more than a year.
Put a bullet between here eyes! That will stop that. What kind of crazy do you have to be to harm babies??! She’s a waste of flesh and doesn’t deserve the air she breaths. If America would fast track those on death row instead of tax pay citizens paying for room and board and medical care, it would send the message of zero tolerance and crime would go waaay down. Firing squad, hanging, overdoes them with the same shit she gave those babies!!!
