Jello treat gets Jefferson Parish 4th-grader suspended

GRETNA, La. A Jefferson Parish fourth grader has been suspended for taking what's being described as a look-alike drug to school.

Eight-year-old Kelli Billingsley brought homemade Jell-O cups to school at Boudreaux Elementary. Her mom says the school tested the Jell-O and determined it didn't have any alcohol in it. But the school suspended the girl for having a look alike drug.

The girl's mom says her daughter was just trying to make a treat for her friends.

The superintendent of Jefferson Parish schools says she will investigate the case.

How did jello look like drugs? And the second question is, when is everybody going to take their kids out of public school?

Only in La would people mistake Jello for an alcoholic drink.

I think it unlikely that any of us would have if we would have HAD their "protection!"

Are jello shots a big fad in LA 4th grade classrooms? I mean, I know you can put alcohol in jello . . but why would they suspect that it was in there. Probably much more to this story.

My guess is they looked like Jello Shooters.

But heck, that says more about the adults than the kid.

It's a good thing she didn't bring brownies.

JELLO SHOTS! Apparently the suspecting teacher has spent too much time at yuppie bars.

What drug do jello cups look like? Good grief, we need to close down the public schools. They get nuttier every day.

Drugs in Jello? I don't know about that, but I've had my suspicions about what those little multi-color sprinkles are on the top of Frosted Pop-Tarts.

The "Absolut"ly most spectacular display of mass drunkenness I ever witnessed in my college daze was the result of a "jello party".

The recipe substituted vodka for water ...
