A Texas mom has been jailed after sending her son to school with a special lemon, salt and vinegar drink that landed another student in hospital.
Jennifer Lynn Rossi, 45, put the feral concoction inside a sports bottle and gave it to her son to bring to school to get back at his 'bully' who stole from him.
The son attends Legacy Traditional School Alamo Ranch, 20 miles northwest of downtown San Antonio.
During P.E. class on Tuesday, Rossi's son gave the bottle to his classmate who had allegedly stolen his drink the day before.
He was taken to hospital after drinking the mixture when he began to experience nausea and a headache.
'Upon arriving to the school, deputies learned that the sick child was given a drink by a classmate during P.E. class,' Bexar County Sheriff's Office said in a statement about the incident.
'Although, the contents of the drink were non-toxic, the incident resulted in a child being hospitalized.
'Hospital staff informed the investigator that the child victim required additional medical monitoring and would eventually be discharged from the hospital.'
An investigation revealed that Rossi intentionally mixed the drink together to 'prevent her son's drink from being stolen at school by other students,' according to officials.
Although, the contents of the drink were non-toxic, the incident resulted in a child being hospitalized,' the police statement went on to say.
**SNIP**
Rossi was arrested and booked into jail where she was charged with injury to a child causing bodily injury, according to ABC news.

We sat around an 8’ round table to eat lunch in high skrool. There was one kid whose purpose in life was to smash our sack lunches. He had many warnings that the joke had run its course and it was time to stop but Don just kept on.
One day, I stuck carpet tacks through a piece of cardboard and it didn’t take long before he hit it. He had to peel the lunch bag off of his hand as he ran to the bathroom. That was the last time he smashed anyone’s lunch.
Was the “sports drink” given, as reported, or stolen, as hinted at?
This bully thief sounds like a real pussy. Can’t take a little lemon salt and vinegar without going to the hospital.
OMG a drink with vinegar salt, and lemon put some kid in the hospital REALLY?? How much could the kid have swallowed MAYBE a sip??? This is ridiculous now the little thief’s mother can teach her little TYRANT how to steal in another way by suing!!
“This bully thief sounds like a real pussy. Can’t take a little lemon salt and vinegar without going to the hospital.”
Exactly.
You’re right. The food thief is a snowflake.
In 20 years, Mommy will be calling his boss explaining how her son should be spoken to. That actually happened with one of my friend’s employees.
Lemon, vinegar, etc and the kid took more than one sip? Enough to make him sick? Stupid kid with bad taste buds!
I'm pretty sure that would require the presence of urine. From some feral animal.
Should have just packed pickle juice.
It sounds like what they sell at Panera.
I bet that little bully never steals someone else’s drink, though..
They’re real kooks over at the Rodale Corporation.
When I was in school, someone would have laced it with exlax.
Hospitalized! I drink the same concoction everyday, minus the salt. Smh, ridiculous! That was basically a homemade hydration drink. You can’t tell me that kid didn’t smell the vinegar before he drank it. This whole thing makes no sense.
I’ve played in numerous senior softball tournament where you might be required to play 3, 4 even 5 games on a single weekend summer day. Pickle juice was a favorite remedy for cramping.....
The mother should send a bill to the bully for a liver cleanse.
She should have just given him a gun to deal with the bully.
/s
She’ll walk with a jury trial, assuming the DA has the stomach to prosecute.
Well, at least the hospital said he "would eventually be discharged from the hospital."
Hospital adding to the drama.
A hard lesson hopefully learned. Stealing has consequences. Good show!
If someone drinks enough of a heavily salted drink to get sink, that is THEIR problem! The Mom is innocent.
