Three Reading students were rushed to the hospital Friday afternoon after taking medication at school given to them by a classmate.
"That is a shame that kids can get those things and do that stuff," said Tom Meneely, a parent in Reading.
School officials tell us a student brought the pills to Gateway School, in the 1700 block of City Line Avenue, then passed them out to two 9th graders and a 12th grade student.
"It goes on every day. But it is a big problem with society nowadays. The kids are coming up faster than the parents are," said Keenan Bryant in Reading.
Gateway School is a school for high school aged students with special needs. BCIU runs the program.
The Reading School District has launched an investigation into the incident, but has not yet determined what the medication was.
Some parents are finding this news hard to swallow.
"Should be paid more attention to I guess. They should be monitored more so that kind of stuff does not happen," said Meneely.
Others feel responsibility lies with the parents.
"It all starts at home. Where do they get them from? That is the big question. Parents have to have more guidance and pay more attention to their kids," said Bryant.
School officials tells us two of the three students were still in the hospital Friday night, but were expected to be released soon.
The school district notified parents of children at Gateway School of the incident.
