Ashley Tull, 30, of Selbyville was charged with drug
possession and endangering the welfare of a child after her
daughter brought the drugs to the Hickory Tree Child Care Center
on Monday morning, Delaware State Police said in a statement.
Several of the children who received the small, unopened bags
were taken to area hospitals as a precaution, and were later
released, police said.
Police said the child unknowingly brought the heroin to the care
center in a replacement backpack, after hers was ruined by a
family pet the night before.
Tull was released from jail after posting $6,000 bond, police
said. She has been barred from coming into contact with her
4-year-old, or her two other children, aged 9 and 11.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, police said.
