A Texas mom has been jailed after sending her son to school with a special lemon, salt and vinegar drink that landed another student in hospital.
Jennifer Lynn Rossi, 45, put the feral concoction inside a sports bottle and gave it to her son to bring to school to get back at his 'bully' who stole from him.
The son attends Legacy Traditional School Alamo Ranch, 20 miles northwest of downtown San Antonio.
During P.E. class on Tuesday, Rossi's son gave the bottle to his classmate who had allegedly stolen his drink the day before.
He was taken to hospital after drinking the mixture when he began to experience nausea and a headache.
'Upon arriving to the school, deputies learned that the sick child was given a drink by a classmate during P.E. class,' Bexar County Sheriff's Office said in a statement about the incident.
'Although, the contents of the drink were non-toxic, the incident resulted in a child being hospitalized.
'Hospital staff informed the investigator that the child victim required additional medical monitoring and would eventually be discharged from the hospital.'
An investigation revealed that Rossi intentionally mixed the drink together to 'prevent her son's drink from being stolen at school by other students,' according to officials.
Although, the contents of the drink were non-toxic, the incident resulted in a child being hospitalized,' the police statement went on to say.
**SNIP**
Rossi was arrested and booked into jail where she was charged with injury to a child causing bodily injury, according to ABC news.

“Give” or given under duress? If I tell you that I am going to beat you up if you don’t give me your drink and I give it to you, I technically gave it to you.
He didn’t steal that drink. It was given to him. That’s a huge difference.
He may have stolen drinks in the past and if he is still in this one it would have been different.
>>Her kid Gave the drink to a kid who stole his drink on previous day.
It could have been “given” under duress.
I’m calling horse shite on this. Vinegar, lemon, salt and water are not caustic. People deink vinegar and water daily as a health tonic.
And he didn't spit it out immediately?
Not buying it.
How would a child even drink salty vinegar? 999 people in 1000 would spit it out with first taste.
The parents of the kid who stole the drink should be jailed for lack of training given the little bastard.
Bully won’t steal drinks again.
Haymakers punch!! Great stuff when working in hot summer weather.
I sip pickle juice, instead of a sports drink, during my workouts.
Likely not the parents.
The \school\ called for an ambulance.
Bank it.
Meh. Just let the kid steal the drinks. Tell him in a few months that it was two parts urine.
Yep.
They hospitalize for everything these days.
Unless you say you were raped in the bathroom by a pervert. In that case you should just walk it off and be arrested for saying he assaulted you with his penis. Her penis you bigot!
I remember students who took candy or cookies to school loaded with e-lax to stop bullies from stealing from them.
I work in a machine shop, and one of my coworkers once told me they solved a lunch thief problem by putting metal chips in a sandwich.
My college roommate would eat anything, as long as it was free. He was handed a chocolate bar, and he wolfed it. It was a whole bar of Exlax, nine pieces. Needless to say, his next day was far from pleasant.
“I sip pickle juice, instead of a sports drink, during my workouts.”
I help support a long-distance bicycle ride in the early summer in Oklahoma & riders love to get the packets of frozen pickle juice offered at the rest stop.
I forgot about hitting the bar after summer work and loading up on Salty Dogs or Margaritas.
Pickle juice is great stuff, and brined pickles are the best dill-type pickles.
I recommend that everyone tour the Middle Eastern stores for a huge selection of pickled foods cheap, and usually excellent and cheap coffee beans.
