"Police: Kindergartner Brings Drugs To School"

Crack and weed by 6 years old??? What happened??? CLICK HERE to read the article accompanying this headline!

Police: Kindergartner Brings Drugs To School

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Metro police said a 6-year-old brought drugs to school Monday.

Police found seven grams of marijuana and two grams of rock and powder cocaine in the child's pockets.

The student at Tom Joy Elementary School went to the teacher to show her what he found at home.

The teacher immediately took the student to the principal's office.

The child is developmentally challenged. There are nine students in his classroom. Police said no other students came into contact with the drugs. It didn't appear that the drugs were disturbed. The school was placed on lockdown until dismissal Monday afternoon.

"We believe that she didn't know that the school was aware that he had the drugs on him," said Sgt. Anna-Maria Williams. "So she was trying to get to the school to get them off of him."

The child's 27-year-old mother, Arthia Burrows received drug and child endangerment charges Monday. Police also are searching for her brother, who is wanted for arrest. He hasn't been charged yet.

Police said the curious 6-year-old gave them all the information they needed to take down a known drug house in East Nashville.

He told police he had his mother's "smokes."

"Our crime suppression unit had gotten a drug complaint on them, that this was place where people could go to buy marijuana and other drugs," Williams said. "So our crime suppression unit had been working on it, but hadn't had enough information to get inside. So, we got lucky as far as being able to get them at the same time to take the drugs off the child."

Police said Burrows does not have a criminal record.

The Tennessee Department of Children's Services removed five children from the home. Even though Metro Schools has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to drugs, the child will not be expelled because he was not aware he was bringing drugs to school.

      I've worked as a social worker for children and a preschool teacher for 2 years…..
      I hate to say that these kind of things happen all the time.
      What EVER you (parents) do at home, your children will talk about at school.
      They look up to you and think everything you do or say is SO COOL.
      Guaranteed, they will discuss your actions with anyone who will listen.

      Re: LS
      excuse me… but where in the post does it say the race of the child/mother?
      Furthermore… no one brought up race at all. Also… as you say, "So can we all see now color dont matter period." no it does not… but ignorance does, as you clearly are with both your post and the clear murder of the english language. Open a book.

      Re: mommyx5 – You right… I jus get tired of when it is black all these racist come out. But when it's white they are quite. My point was GET OFF THE COLOR THE COLOR DONT COMMITT THE CRIMES PEOPLE DO…. PERIOD… ALL RACES ARE POOR.. ALL RACE ARE RICH.. ALL RACES DONE CRIMES… ALL RACES ARE IN JAIL…. SO TO THE RACIST PEOPLE OUT THERE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT'S YA POINT ON DOWNGRADING OTHER RACES WHEN YOUR NOR MINES IS PERFECT. PERIOD.

      Re: LS – I agree. Race does not matter when it comes to crime. However, this case is a poor example to use for your statement that white people also do drugs considering if you watch the video on the news website you will see that this happened to an African American family. Race isn't the factor in crimes. Its socioeconomic backgrounds and upbringing.

      Re: LS

      uh..yeah - why is the kid 'white'? because the shitty montage photo at the top of the post shows a white kid? as "It's Me" noted, there is no reference to race - though the mother's name is "Arthia Burrows"…can i be ignorant as you to assume "Arthia" is a 'black' name…?

      LS - Those articles you are mentioning are about stupid people who happen to be black. There are A LOT of stories on this web site, and others, that have articles about stupid people who are white. You seem to be the only one making this about race. But of course we, non color seeing people, are used to black people pointing out that we are racist. YOU are the main reason racism is still alive today. Get over yourself and check the mail, i think someone sent you a book!

I CRAVE the superficial (I'm a shrink by trade…LOL) I want to go to Perez to UNWIND, be silly and merry, at least for a few minutes a day… and you post kids with tumors, kids shot by their dads… get it?

But then again, your point didn't make any sense so instead, you're the one who's looking like the racist fool.

      Geez people. Just read the story. No racist comments needed. Hell, we are all human, we all have blood running through our system. And we all make mistakes. Anyhow, poor kid. Sometimes these things happens for the best. Good that he brought the drugs to school or his mother would have never been caught. hopefully she'll get the help that she needs and the kid won't be put in some deadbeat's foster home!

      As I resident of the "fine" state of Tennessee I must say I am not shocked that it happened, a little surprised that it was in Nashville and not Memphis. This is a very typical occurrence here, as people just do not give a fuck… And he IS probably developmentally challenged due to her drug use during pregnancy, once again very typical to do drugs while pregnant in Tn, most of them are younger than Jamie Lynn when they have their first, and sometimes even 2nd… it is so sad… I can not wait to get the hell out of this place….

      something smells fishy here…why would the child take it to school to show the teacher what he 'found'…how many small children find things and DONT take it to mommy…and the fact that they say he is 'developmentally challenged' as well makes me think he would have gone to mommy first also…mabye a conspiracy between the school and police to bring down a known drug house; afterall what attorney is going to put a developmentally challnged child on the stand….

      Ls,
      I have to agree with the other people. Your the only one who made it about race. By constantly bringing up race it sends the message that we are different and not the same. Your comments are all over the place and pretty stupid. Learn to spell correctly and not use slang it doesn't make you look very bright. Stupid point and you wonder why everyone on here is tearing you a new one. I don't believe in white guilt either and I think everyone is pretty tired and fed up when people pull the race card.

True… the comments about that article majorly crossed the line and what was being said was so uncalled for. LS was just trying to make a point that race shouldn't be a factor. I completely see why LS is so upset about it…I am too. And believe me it is painful to see all the racism in the world…just b\c someone has a darker skin tone than you. It's sad…

      Ok, LS, I feel your pain with people sometimes bashing the black race. I myself am black. Whites sometimes bash blacks, blacks sometimes bash whites, and so on and so on. Get over it. You're not helping yourself either by typing in all caps, mispelling words, using incorrect tences, all with no punctuation marks. I must agree with a few others here, don't get offended, but please educate yourself. Cell phone texting grammer isn't accepted in the real world.

      No, shes right. Even though her grammer is extremly bad and hard to understand… she has a point.
      Every time perez posts ANYTHING about a BLACK person we always see loads and loads of comments that are very very racist. Like that KKK person always saing "get the noose" or making racist knock knock jokes
      It never fails. And for you to say that black people are the most racist is completly wrong.
      Anyone who is a long time reader of this site knows….
      Have yall ever read a black person type racist comments after any of those stories. Like the guy who locked his daughter in the basement or that perv who f***ed a picnic table?
      You all are lashing out on my illiterate friend because you know that shes right and that these facts are true.
