NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Louisiana police Wednesday were testing Jell-O
snacks brought to school by an 8-year-old, which officials said resembled a
popular tavern drink.

The Terrytown girl was suspended from her elementary school for nine days under the school's drug policy, Jefferson Parish public schools spokesman Jeff Nowakowski told the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

He said the snacks resembled an alcohol mixture known as "Jell-O shots," and
whether or not they actually contained alcohol, the youngster violated the drug policy banning "look-alike" drugs and intending to distribute them.

The girl's mother told television interviews there was no alcohol in the 30
Jell-O snacks she prepared for her daughter to sell to schoolmates to raise
money for Christmas presents.

The girl will have to undergo a drug assessment program, counseling and drug
testing before she can come back to school, Nowakowski said.

Actually...

I think the mom needs smacked upside with a clue by four. Not only did she make little, unlabled cups of jello (Something that, because she's a bartender, could easily be questioned as alcoholic. Go ahead, tell me no adult would ever do that.), she sent her 8 year kid to school to play dealer to her classmates, without talking to the school, or even her kids teacher! What the hell message does that send to her kid? "Gee honey, we need some extra money, why don't you go sell something to your friends."

The sending the kid to sell stuff is the only real problem I can see, but a big one.
