(GoRealNewsNow.com) – A school crossing guard has been arrested for giving middle school students drugs like electronic cigarettes, marijuana edibles and even smoking weed with at least one of them.

Police in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, arrested 26-year-old Kiara Lee, a crossing guard for Penn Wood Middle School in Darby after she allegedly gave the students the illicit substances.
Student witnesses reported seeing Lee on multiple occasions giving drugs and vapes to at least two students. They reported to school officials that one of the students shared that they were frequently smoking weed with her.
According to a source, one student’s guardian confirmed to police that Lee had been giving the child vapes and marijuana edibles.
“We walk past every day, so a lot of students see her passing it around and they would say, ‘Oh, let me hit the vape, let me hit the vape,’” one student said.
Along with the unethical “gift”-giving, Lee reportedly kept up a conversation through text messages with one of the students, in which they would share their experiences after ingesting edibles.
Moreover, law enforcement officials blasted Lee’s behavior and actions, saying it was unacceptable for anyone, especially school crossing guards, to be giving drugs to minors.
Darby Borough Chief Joseph Gabe stated, “While marijuana may not seem like a big deal to some folks in the community, I think we can all agree that crossing guards should not be providing narcotics -– even if it is ‘just’ marijuana — to our kids.”
“School crossing guards epitomize the role of public servant. They are — quite literally — entrusted with the lives of our children and hold a position of sacred trust in communities across the Commonwealth and the country,” said Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer.
Shockingly, parents in the community were outraged to learn about Lee’s actions.
“It’s already bad enough as a parent, keeping them away from influences, but to hear that an employee of the borough would even sell to kids. It’s insane,” a mother claimed.
Lee was charged with two felony counts of drug possession with intent to deliver, two misdemeanor counts of corruption of a minor, and two misdemeanor counts of possession of marijuana.
