Primary school pupils take ecstasy, collapse in class
IRATE parents today demanded police charge an 11-year-old girl after she gave ecstasy to two young classmates who overdosed at school.
As police interviewed the parents of the three children involved, a family friend of one of the victims - a 10-year-old boy - revealed the 11-year-old had found the ecstasy pills in her brother's bag.
The youngster took the pills to class at Windang Primary School, slouth of Wollongong, yesterday and handed them to two 10-year-old boys during lunchtime, who ingested the tablets.
The children then returned to class where the girl became badly affected.
Angry parents today demanded action against the girl and her brother, claiming the 11-year-old girl knew what she was handing out.
Veronica Palmer, a family friemd of one of the boys, said the youngsters could have died.
"It was touch and go there for a while ... he had to get his stomach pumped," said Ms Palmer.
"I spoke to his mother and she is absolutely devastated this could happen."
Ms Palmer rejected suggestions the girl mistook the ecstasy pills for lollies.
"She knew what she was up to ... her brother had them in his bag," Ms Palmer said.
"She stole them from his bag and took them to school and gave them out."
Lake Illawarra Area Commander Chief Inspector Bob Noble said that a police were testing seven pills seized from the school.
The parents of the three children were being interviewed.
"It's shocking in as much as it's clear someone has acted irresponsibly - first in possessing it and second in leaving it where it could be found," Chief Insp Noble said.
"They have dodged the bullet in terms of what could have happened.
"It's pretty clear someone has done something dumb."
This is a few minutes from my place :shocked:

Fisherman lands record 844-pound shark
Mon Oct 15, 5:59 PM ET
Six friends went to a fishing tournament looking to catch some grouper. They caught an 844-pound shark instead.
The fight by Adlee Bruner and friends to pull the 11-foot mako shark onto the boat from the Gulf of Mexico took more than an hour on Saturday. But when they made it back to land, it was a record for the decades-old Destin Fishing Rodeo.
"It was tense," Bruner, 47, said about the fight to land the shark, which has a mouthful of huge, fearsome teeth. "I've fished for 40 years. I've never see one that big."
Bruner and his fishing buddies were on a 52-foot charter boat with Capt. Robert Hill, about 70 miles southwest of this beach city in the Florida Panhandle.
The fishermen first noticed the big mako because it kept eating grouper and scamp they had hooked.
"It was like 'Jaws,'" Hill said.
Hill hooked a two-foot amberine on as bait and tossed it out. The shark eventually hit it.
After the long fight, the shark was gaffed and eventually gave up after its tail was roped. But even then, the men could not get the big shark in the boat. They tied it to the stern with three ropes and made the four-hour trip back to land.
The shark was hoisted at the rodeo before a big crowd. It tipped the scale at 844.4 pounds.
After it was gutted, the mako still weighed 638 pounds, breaking the tournament's previous shark division record by 338 pounds

Gallery urges visitors to strip
A prestigious Vienna art gallery has encouraged art-lovers to strip off, letting naked or scantily-clad visitors in for free.The Leopold Museum hosted hundreds of skin-baring sightseers to mark the launch of The Naked Truth, an exhibition of early 1900s erotic art. "We find a naked body every bit as beautiful as a clothed one," museum founder Elisabeth Leopold said.
The exhibition in the Austrian capital hosts artworks by Klimt and Schiele. The gallery's commercial director, Peter Weinhaeupl, said he wanted to help people cool off in heat that hit the mid-30s Celsius (mid-90s Fahrenheit). He also said he hoped to create a mini-scandal reminiscent of the shock when the artists first unveiled their risque paintings.
"It's a bit of an experiment," he said. "Egon Schiele was a young and wild person in his day. He'd want to be here." Mrs Leopold, who set up the museum with husband Rudolf, added: "If they came only out of lust, we have to accept that. We stand for the truth." One visitor, Mario Vorhemes, 20, wore just a pair of swimming briefs and asked: "What's the big deal? "We're born naked into this world. Why can't we walk around in it without clothes from time to time?"
