As a four-year-old girl in Selbyville, Del. headed off to day care on Monday, her mother Ashley Tull, 30, gave her a different backpack to use since the family pet had ruined hers the night before. Just imagine the little girl's delight upon opening the backpack and finding a treasure trove of bags containing what looked like candy. What am I going to do with all this candy, the little girl presumably asked herself, before handing the bags out to her then giddy classmates.
A nice story about a kid hitting the sweet tooth jackpot and embodying the oft-repeated day care phrase, "Sharing is caring," right? Not quite. It wasn't powdered sugar in those 249 little baggies—it was a total 3.375 grams of heroin.
"None of the packets were opened by any of the kids," Master Corporal Gary E. Fournier told The News Journal. Ashley Tull was taken into custody by police but was not charged with felony possession, despite the fact that the amount would have been sufficient. The four-year-old girl on the other hand, went from being considered the coolest girl at day care to the least trustworthy.
