A mother said she knew something was wrong when her 5-year-old came home completely lethargic, stumbling to get off the bus.
A kindergarten teacher at Pine Forest Elementary in Humble ISD was caught slipping melatonin gummies to students in a special education class.
The mother says the teacher even asked if her son liked gummies and took gummy vitamins, but she didn't think much of the comment until now. In response, Humble ISD sent ABC13 a statement saying in part, "The district took immediate action to launch an investigation. Our investigation found that the teacher did give out melatonin, acting on her own and without obtaining parent permission. The teacher did not notify campus administration nor the nurse."
When ABC13 asked why the teacher did not get fired, a spokesperson for the district said accepting a resignation is most efficient.
