Story out of Anchorage, Alaska:
Three Winterberry Charter School students have been disciplined for allegedly trying to poison a classmate, according to Anchorage School District officials.
The incident was first brought to a teacher’s attention on March 22, according to ASD spokeswoman Heidi Embley. She said a student overheard three others discussing their plan to use silica gel — a substance commonly found in product packaging — to poison another classmate. Silica gel is not toxic and is used to prevent moisture.
“Given such a young age, it’s not clear if they knew what they were doing, if it was just a threat or something more serious,” she said.
“The students had taken some plastic packets that are inside of a sealed food bag, meant for preservation of the food and say “do not consume” on the packaging, and brought them to school with the intent of putting them in another student’s lunch,” APD spokeswoman Jennifer Castro explained. “The students had thought the packets contained poison. The plot was not actually carried out.” Cont. (Video)
