A young boy shared a stash of ecstasy pills with a group of his school friends after confusing his father’s drugs for candy.
The 8-year-old boy shared the pills with four of his friends, aged 7-9 in an elementary school in the Indonesian province of Riau on Monday.
The ecstasy pills allegedly belonged to the 8-year-old’s father, identified as a 46-year-old with the initials HR.
An eight-year-old boy shared his father’s ecstasy pills with his school friends, accidentally mistaking the stash for candy.
Police have said HR’s 2-year-old toddler had found the stash in his car who had given it to his older brother.
‘The kids thought the green pills in their parents’ car were candy. They cut up the pills and shared them with friends,’ Riau Police Public Relations Head Kombes Sunarto told the media according to Detik News.
The 8-year-old and his school friends complained of headaches and dizziness after swallowing the drugs and were taken to hospital, except the 2-year-old who was put off by the bitterness of the taste.
‘They are feeling better now. They have received treatment,’ said Sunarto.
HR confessed he owned the ecstasy stashed and was soon arrested by police.
Police have not mentioned if HR will face any further charges.
Four school boys, aged 7-9, were hospitalised after complaints of headaches and dizziness.
