PARENTS BEWARE!!!

 

IT LOOKS JUST LIKE POP ROCKS !

There is a very scary thing going on in the schools right now that everyone needs to be aware of. There is a type of crystal meth going around that looks like strawberry pop rocks. It smells like strawberry and is being handed out to kids at schools in. 

 

Areas where it has been distributed to children already include: California, Washington, Nevada, Idaho, Texas, New Mexico, Missouri and Minnesota. Kids are eating this thinking that it is candy and are being rushed off to the emergency rooms in critical condition.
 
It also comes in chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape and orange. Please instruct your children not to accept candy that looks like this even from a friend and to take any that they may have to a parent, teacher or principal.
