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.

This is BS. If she had made a poisonous drink she should be charged. If she made an unpleasant drink that the kid stole then it sucks to be him. Has he been charged with theft or string arm robbery?
"Feral"? It sounds like some health fad from "Runners' World".
If the other kid had stolen it a second time, I'd say this was all a cunning plan. But handing a booby-trapped drink to a kid makes it a lot less cunning.
if life was tough before, hes soon to look back and wish for the " good ol days".
I used to mix salt and lemon juice for a good salty drink and sometimes used vinegar when out of lemon juice, and sometimes tried vinegar, lemon juice, and salt together, a salt/sour craving that some who grew up in hot climates recognize, which is why salty pickled foods are so popular in hot climates.
It almost sounds like he was hospitalized just to get a case against the mother.
Her better option would have been to homeschool him.
Vinegar won’t kill anyone....but it might make you awful nauseous.
Legal and medical hysteria...
Lemon, vinegar, and salt?
What teenage kid would take more than one sip of something that tasted like that?
She should have made Switchel.
>>Her better option would have been to homeschool him.
Homeschooling requires a parent with a brain to teach—which seems to be lacking in this household
Judge should charge the bully with "theft"...which is a crime.
No . Her kid Gave the drink to a kid who stole his drink on previous day.
As soon as it hit your palet..you would stop drinking...and the smell would have been fair warning. Bet he didn’t have more than a sip....and did nothing more than get his tongue wet.
Don’t forget the smell...
I’m not a doctor, but it doesn’t seem like this would send anyone to the hospital, unless “victim’s” mama has Munchhausen by Proxy. High drama.
When I worked at a big corporation, someone kept stealing my lunch. I left a pre-packaged frozen burrito at home on the counter for a couple days, re-froze it, and took it to work. At lunchtime it was gone, but that’s the last time it ever happened.
Wow . My girlfriend in college made laxative brownies we left in my fridge in college because my fatass liberal roommate kept stealing my food.
Dude effectively ate two bottles of colin blow and sat on the toilet for three days.
I guess we’d get the death penalty in Biden’s America.
If they were in Maine, she could have used Moxie.
“It almost sounds like he was hospitalized just to get a case against the mother.“
Exactly!!!
There is NO way a person needs “hospitalization” because they drank an ugly mix of NORMAL food items.
This is like those soccer players who get brushed and flop down, writhing in “pain”…
