October 16, 2007 - 3:03PM Two 10-year-old boys and an 11-year-old girl have swallowed ecstasy tablets they thought were strawberry lollies at a primary school south of Wollongong, police believe. The children, from Windang Public School, experienced dizziness and an elevated heart rate soon after they each swallowed a tablet at lunchtime, Chief Inspector Bob Noble from Lake Illawarra local area command said. "Our preliminary investigation suggests that a student brought some tablets to school," Chief Inspector Noble said. "From there, a couple of students were given tablets by this student [and the] suggestion is they were told the tablets were lollies." The tablets are believed to have "tasted like strawberries", Chief Inspector Noble said. "I don't know whether they tasted like strawberries, but they didn't have the same effect as a fruit tingle," he said. "Once the students started to feel ill they alerted a teacher and were taken to [Shellharbour] Hospital." The children did not experience any loss of consciousness, and were released from hospital last night, he said. Police believe the tablets were ecstasy - a view supported by preliminary tests of the tablets, Chief Inspector Noble said. Further testing will take place today. There was no suggestion the tablets were sold to anyone at the school, Chief Inspector Noble said. "It doesn't appear that people are peddling drugs to school kids [but] we are very concerned about where the student or students obtained the tablets," he said. "People aren't supposed to have illicit drugs in any case, but ones that do should be careful about where they store them - this girl got them from somewhere." It was fortunate the children did not suffer more serious health effects from taking the tablets, he said. NSW Education Department Illawarra spokesman Grahame Kennedy said it was understood the girl brought the substance to the school and shared it with the two boys. "It's a very unusual and rare event in our schools anywhere but in a primary school it's totally unfamiliar," Mr Kennedy told Southern Cross Broadcasting. "The students had the common sense to go up to the front office and get some help. The staff knew exactly what to do and immediately took the appropriate action," he said. Police will speak to the children involved in the incident today. A criminal investigation has also been launched. The incident follows a a warning from police last week about a highly toxic amphetamine being sold as the drug ecstasy. A small number of the tablets, which have a Chanel logo or Pacman symbol, are not MDMA, or ecstasy, but paramethoxyamphetamine, or PMA, a potentially toxic hallucinogen responsible for at least six other deaths in Australia since 1995. with AAP |
