Second grade, 7-year-old boy caught vaping CBD at elementary school, police say
(Meredith) — A teacher at a Wisconsin elementary school caught a 7-year-old boy vaping CBD inside a classroom, police said.
The second-grader took the vaping device from his mother’s purse and brought it Country Dale Elementary in Franklin on Oct. 8, WISN-TV reported.
A social worker from child protective services took the child to the hospital to get him checked out.
His mother told police the “Smok Novo” vaping device, which resembles a USB flash drive, contained CBD oil.
CPS later returned the boy to his mom. She was not cited or charged, but police and CPS will keep a report of the incident on file, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The Franklin School District emailed a letter to parents on Tuesday warning them about the dangers of vaping.
“The safety of our students is our top priority,” said Superintendent Judy Mueller in the letter. “As a school community, we have concerns about the national vaping epidemic, especially when we see the impact on our Franklin students and families. We will continue to do everything we can to help counteract the harm associated with vaping.”
