GRETNA, La. -- A Jefferson Parish school spokesman said an 8-year-old girl is serving a nine-day elementary school suspension for bringing to school what appeared to be about 30 "Jell-O shots." It remains unclear whether they contained alcohol.

Schools spokesman Jeff Nowakowski said the incident occurred Nov. 29 as the girl stood after classes outside Geraldine Boudreaux Elementary School in Terrytown. A teacher spotted liquid dripping out of the student's bookbag, looked inside and found what looked like the small cups of alcohol-laced gelatin that are sold in bars.

Officials said the girl told the school's principal that her mother, who works in a bar, makes alcoholic shots at home and sells them at work. The fourth-grader said her mother had instructed her to take the shots to school and sell them, three for $1, to make some money for Christmas.

The shots were turned over to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, which will test them to see if they contain alcohol.

so they suspend her, and don't know if alcohol is in the shots? ever served a kid a virgin margarita? how could they not know if liquor was in there or not, ?????

and why so harsh of a sentence to the kid?

if it is booze, the mom should be the one doing the nine days, plus about 51 or so more !!!

They apparently have a rule against "look-alikes" - fake drugs, etc. - so that it doesn't matter if it's real or not.

If it had happened at my school, 30 shots would have disappeared right after they landed in the principal's office.

Maybe they should rename the town South Park. :blink:

it's Janet Jackson's nipple's fault!

"Look alikes"? Seems what it really looked like were little cups of Jello. :unsure:

I say that as long as the school doesn't have the laws against faked or look-a-like dildoes, they are doing fine
;-)))

But they should be banned!

Real ones only!!

bunk product= real product

HAHA This school is a few block from our office in New Orleans.

8 years old is a little young for jello shots....

15 or so.... it would be overlooked in New Orleans!

:lol:

proving again the link between poverty and stupidity.

I guess her mum had the morality she could afford.

Shit you'd think she'd have done the honest thing and hooked first before making her kid into a bootlegger.


3 for a buck is a good price though...

at 3 for $1, you know the mother was shortchanging those jello shots...

"Jell-O shots" what's wrong with that? she' just doing some business at early age. :nyanya:
