Mother’s concoction to combat son’s school bullies leaves child in hospital

Police say a woman has been arrested after concocting a drink to stop it from being stolen by school bullies – leaving one child in hospital.

Bexar County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to Legacy Traditional School – Alamo Ranch, in Texas, after a child became sick.

Upon arrival they were told the stricken child had been given a drink by a classmate during a PE lesson.

The liquid in the sports bottle was found to contain a mixture of lemon, salt and vinegar.

“Shortly after the child consumed the drink, he began experiencing nausea and a headache,” police said.

“Through the course of the investigation, it was learned that the mother of the student who provided the drink intentionally mixed the contents of the drink to allegedly prevent her son’s drink from being stolen at school by other students.”
