Girl pokes herself, 3 others with used needle

Hey, kids, from now on when you see weird stuff lying on the ground, LEAVE IT THERE.

Four Texas elementary school students are being tested for HIV and other blood-borne diseases after a student found a heroin needle at recess and poked herself and three other students.

The student at Allison Elementary School in East Austin found the needle Monday afternoon at recess in a park restroom, MyFOXAustin.com reports. Thinking it was fake, she poked herself and three others before school officials found the needle.

Just the thought of someone had a needle in their arm,” said Theresa Garcia, the mother of a 6-year-old who was poked. “My daughter got pricked with it, who knows what could be on it.”
