Police in Wilkinsburg have confiscated what they suspect were 50 to 60 small bags of drugs from a third-grade student who was passing them out at his school.

Police suspect the substance the 8-year-old boy was handing out Tuesday at Turner Elementary School was heroin.

Officials say the bags had the words "trust me" stamped on them and would have a street value of about $1,000 if tests conclude they contained heroin.

Wilkinsburg School District officials sent home a letter to parents advising them to discuss the matter with their children.

Police say the investigation is continuing.

Charges against a Wilkinsburg mother whose 8-year-old son took heroin to school this month have been withdrawn.

Chynita Young, 25, had been charged with endangering the welfare of a child and corruption of minors after her son, a third-grade student at Wilkinsburg's Turner Elementary, told police he got the heroin from "My mommy's house."

Teachers discovered the boy with the bags of heroin, marked "Trust Me," on April 13. A teacher noticed him shuffling the contents of his pockets during testing. The boy gave a bag of heroin to at least one student, who said he threw it in the trash. Eighteen additional bags, some opened, were later discovered in the trash can.

Prosecutors withdrew the charges against Ms. Young because at the time her son possessed the heroin, he was living in three different houses with four different adults, said Mike Manko, a spokesman for the Allegheny County district attorney's office.

The case remains under investigation. No one else has been charged yet.
