Your Black World reports
A five year old boy in Sweet Springs, Missouri was excited about show-and-tell this week, but for all the wrong reasons. Teachers were shocked to realize that the boy had brought a bag of crystal meth and a crack pipe to school to show the other kids.
"He was very excited when he got to school," said school Superintendent Donna Wright. "But I don't think he knew what he had."
"It didn't ever get into the classroom," Wright also said.
According to Police Chief Richard Downing, this is the first time that any child in the town had ever brought such an "interesting" or disturbing object for show-and-tell. The boy's mother, Michelle Cheatham, has been arrested and released on bail.
"It was shocking," Wright said. "We're not experienced with dealing with this."
The town of Sweet Springs is a rural area located 66 miles east of Kansas City, Missouri. It has only 1,500 residents and 425 students in the entire school district. Kinda makes you wonder what your kids are being exposed to in school, doesn't it?

This is puzzling in so many ways. I don't understand why a 5 year old would find anything interesting about a crack pipe; and for kindergarten children, the types of things to bring is usually talked about with the children as well as detailed instructions to the parents. Obviously this mother is guilty of neglect(not involved in his school activities) and child endangerment for having this substance where this little guy could get his hands on it; what if he had eaten some of it. On the lighter side, I'm surprised he made it all the way to school with it; before mom got up and started to "use" for the day. SURPRISE SURPRISe SHOW & tell!!!!
Our young children are exposed to so many things that were unheard of in our growing up years.Maybe this was a cry for help.
Obviously, the child has seen his parent and/or parents using the pipe. Some women do not deserve to have children anyway. I often think of all the neglect and you have other women who want a child desperately and cannot have one.
So who should we blame? Another faceless white man? This child is obviously in a home or in surroundings that makes this type of trash available. This child needs to be removed from the home.
