Two 8-year-old Kennydale Elementary students were given the drug PCP after school Thursday.
Both children were treated at a local hospital after ingesting some of the drug and are expected to be OK, according to a City of Renton press release.
The mother of one of the children called police from the hospital at about 7:45 p.m., saying she believed they had taken drugs.
A parent also found an empty vial in her child’s pants pocket.
The vial, which was said to contain a yellow liquid, was allegedly given to the children by a 7-year-old friend, according to the release.
The 7-year-old told police he found the drugs in a neighborhood park and that he didn’t know what was inside it, according to the release.
At about 9:30 Thursday night a parent told police that PCP (phenylcyclohexylpiperidine) was found in their child’s blood, according to the release.
PCP is a hallucinogenic and neurotoxic drug once used as an anesthetic.
It was not immediately released where the students ingested the drugs.
