A school crossing guard in Pennsylvania was arrested by police for giving school children narcotics.
Kiara Lee, 26, is accused of providing vapes and giving marijuana edibles to students at Penn Wood Middle School.
Lee also allegedly smoked weed with the children, according to reports.
Delaware County District Attorney Stollsteimer said:
“School crossing guards epitomize the role of public servant.”
“They are – quite literally – entrusted with the lives of our children and hold a position of sacred trust in communities across the Commonwealth and the country.”
“For an individual to abuse that trust is deeply disturbing, and corrosive to the well-being of the entire community.”

The New York Post reported: Lee, a crossing guard for Penn Wood Middle School in Darby, Pa., was seen on multiple occasions by a student witness giving drugs and vapes to at least two students.
One student’s guardian confirmed to police that Lee had been giving the child vapes and marijuana edibles, the outlet reported.
“We walk past every day, so a lot of students see her passing it around and they would say, ‘Oh, let me hit the vape, let me hit the vape,'” one student told WTXF.
Along with the unethical “gift”-giving, Lee reportedly kept up a conversation through text messages with one of the students, in which they would share their experiences after ingesting edibles.
Law enforcement officials blasted Lee’s behavior and actions, saying it was unacceptable for anyone, especially school crossing guards, to be giving drugs to minors.
“While marijuana may not seem like a big deal to some folks in the community, I think we can all agree that crossing guards should not be providing narcotics -– even if it is ‘just’ marijuana — to our kids,” Darby Borough Chief Joseph Gabe said, according to WPVI.
“School crossing guards epitomize the role of public servant. They are — quite literally — entrusted with the lives of our children and hold a position of sacred trust in communities across the Commonwealth and the country,” said Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer.
