MINNEAPOLIS — A little girl is in the hospital after she says a kindergarten classmate gave her something suspicious.
Rachel Hodges says her daughter, Da'Kyah, was shaking, having trouble walking and acting bizarrely Monday.
Officials from Nellie Stone Johnson Elementary School in Minneapolis called Hodges to say Da'Kyah had thrown up and had what looked like seizures.
She says they include hallucinations and mood changes.
"I've never even seen a child act that way," Hodges said. "And it's just sad, because she's scared of me, and I'm her mom."
Da'Kyah says a girl in her class gave her what she said was candy.
"But she pranked me," Da'Kyah said. "After I ate them, she said, 'Ha, just kidding. They're poisonous candies.' My body was hurting and yeah, it was scary."
Da'Kyah described what she ate as colored pills.
"The police gazed into her eyes," Hodges recounted. "They noticed that her pupils were dilated. Her eyes were crossed and bulging significantly, indicating that she had ingested something she shouldn't have."
Hodges mentioned that they are currently awaiting the results of blood tests in the hopes of identifying the substance that caused Da'Kyah and her family such distress.
Repeated attempts by WCCO to reach out to Minneapolis Public Schools this week via phone calls and emails have gone unanswered.
