Three children have been hospitalized after falling sick when they found and ingested a container of what they thought to be candy.
The incident occurred on Monday when three 7-year-old students became sick at College Gardens Elementary School in Rockville, Maryland — approximately 15 miles north of Washington, D.C. — and went to the nurse complaining of dizziness, according to the Montgomery County Police Department.
“The investigation by detectives determined that a group of students found a container of blue items that they believed to be candy,” authorities said.
