Now, the parents are suing. In a civil complaint, they accused substitute teacher Felicia Boyd of drugging the three children. Boyd worked at Sierra Elementary School in Lancaster, Calif. She allegedly gave three brothers weed gummies last year at an after-school program. The brothers were ages 8 to 11.
According to the parents, they had to take the boys to the emergency room after they became "lethargic and ill." Now, they're suing Boyd and the school district for neglect. Speaking to the Daily Mail, the students' aunt says the incident left the boys scared.
"My dad picked them up from school, and when he picked them up, one of my nephews was already not feeling good," she recalled. "I asked them, 'What's going on?' My nephew said, 'I can't feel my body.' My first question was, 'What did you eat?'"
Weed Gummies?
"They were all scared," she told the Daily Mail. "He told me it was some gummies that the teacher had given them."
According to the lawsuit, the family warned administrators about what had happened.
"Boyd possessed a controlled substance on school premises and then administered cannabis-laced candy or gummies to students, including Plaintiffs, and Plaintiffs sustained physical, mental and severe emotional injuries," the suit alleges.
However, they allege that the school failed to do anything to address the situation. The teacher allegedly gave the three boys exotic dragonfruit-flavored Nano Gummies. It contains 20mg of THC per piece.
"As a result of LUSD's employees — including the principal's— negligence in hiring, retaining, supervising, training, managing, and protecting students, Boyd possessed a controlled substance on school premises and then administered cannabis laced candy or gummies to students, including Plaintiffs, and Plaintiffs sustained physical, mental, and severe emotional injuries," the lawsuit continued.
We'll see what becomes of the case when it goes to trial. At this time, it appears no criminal charges were filed against Boyd or the school for this alleged incident.
