<p>It was much more of a “trick” than a “treat” when a Texas preschool teacher was arrested after children got sick from eating THC gummy candy she had given them on Halloween!</p>



<p>THC is the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.</p>



<p>Police were called to the Primrose School of Prosper preschool in the city of Prosper after four children &#8220;were observed displaying unusual symptoms of illness&#8221; in the toddler’s classroom, according to a statement from the school.</p>



<p>The school said it evacuated the building.</p>



<p>&#8220;These four children were hospitalized for treatment and were found to have been exposed to THC, an illegal substance,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;Local authorities have alleged the source of the exposure was linked to a teacher in the room, and the individual was terminated immediately. With our assistance, law enforcement moved swiftly to make an arrest.&#8221;</p>



<p>Police said the teacher, who eventually was arrested and charged, ran away as other employees called 911 but that they found the THC gummy candy in a Ziploc bag in a black hoodie that she had left behind.</p>



<p>Police charged Anisah Burks, 35, with felony possession of a controlled substance and four counts of injury to a child.</p>



<p>Burks admitted to bringing the candy to the classroom, according to an arrest affidavit disclosed by local TV station KDFW.</p>



<p>Four 1-year-old children were treated at Children&#8217;s Medical Center Plano and later released. Investigators and doctors determined that their illness was caused by ingesting THC.</p>



<p>&#8220;This news has been shocking, upsetting and shakes us to the very core of every principle we stand for,&#8221; the school statement said. &#8220;There is no greater priority to us every day than the health and safety of the children entrusted to our care.&#8221;</p>



<p>The school also said that it had conducted a strict background check on all of its employees, including Burks.</p>
