Current Events > Alaska schoolchildren served floor sealant instead of milk in child care program

Twelve elementary school children drank floor sealant believing it was milk after it was served to students at a childcare program in Juneau, Alaska, on Tuesday, according to the school district.

Students in a summer care program at Sit Eeti Shaanx-Glacier Valley Elementary School began complaining that the milk they were served as part of the programs breakfast tasted bad and was burning their mouths and throats, Juneau School District said in a statement Wednesday.

The breakfast was served onto trays by an outside contractor, NANA Management Services, at about 8:45 a.m. on Tuesday and the children brought their trays to a cafeteria table to eat, the district statement said.

After the children complained about the burning sensation, school district and NANA staff immediately followed up by smelling/tasting the milk and looking at the container/label, the statement said. It was found that the milk served was actually a floor sealant resembling liquid milk. Staff immediately directed students to stop consuming the substance and removed it.

The site manager for RALLY, the summer care program, contacted poison control and alerted parents, according to the statement, and all steps provided by poison control were carefully followed.

RALLY provides state-licensed childcare for elementary students ages five through 12 and is a partnership with the Juneau School District, according to the district website.

One student received medical treatment at a nearby hospital, and two other students were picked up from the school and may have gone to seek medical advice, the statement said.

The condition of those students and the remaining nine children was not included in the statement.

An investigation into how the incident happened is ongoing and includes participation from the school district, NMS, the City and Borough of Juneau, and Juneau Police Department, according to the statement, which did not specify who is leading the investigation.

CNN has reached out to the Juneau School District, NMS and the Juneau Police Department for more information.

lawsuit time

we cant even get proper milk for kids now? this is ridiculous

Get out the torches.

How the fuck...

How in the....nevermind, I run into plenty of idiots to believe this wasn't intentional.

How does something like that even happen? Milk needs to be refrigerated. I kind of doubt floor sealant does.

Being a red state, Alaska probably enforces red state levels of code and safety enforcement.

Its Alaska so they probably serve it in a glass.

Hell were assuming it came from a cow and not a yak or some shit.

Expected to see this in national news, lol. Happened here in my town. Such a stupid, bad bad mistake.

The news here said that all were fine aside from some upset stomachs.

I remember one time in like, 2nd, grade, everyone was grilled on who ate the tater tots at lunch. Anyone who said they had were sent to the cafeteria and quite literally forced to drink two pints of milk.

Later found out that instead of PAM or butter spray or whatever they used, the tots were sprayed with oven cleaner.

Malk.

There's pretty much no way this was a mistake. Floor sealant doesn't come in anything that looks like a milk container and it has a potent smell. Some asshole tried to kill some kids

So are these carton's of milk that just had floor sealant in it, or did someone actually pour out "milk"/floor sealant in glass cups and serve it to these poor kids? This is absurd.

Easier ways to kill them in a school cafeteria.

Just keep serving them the greasy, square pizza until they die.

My bones are so brittle!

There's no chance this was an accident.

1 ok, maybe, but doubtful.

Multiple? Yeah, this was intentional.

You never heard of shelf stable milk? Ultra pasteurized and boxed. It does not need to be refrigerated.

Long-life milk is a thing, dude. There are a lot of holes in any theory by which this could be accidental, but this is not one of them.

Why would floor sealant be located on the shelf next to boxed milk?

Thinking about it some more, what if the dude preparing the milk had COVID and couldn't smell?

As far as the container goes.....

Don't think it's impossible to be an accident but I'm still leaning towards it not being one.

Did they catch whoever did this atrocity?

I lived in Alaska for most of my life and in my opinion, the people there ARE stupid enough to do something like this.

Trying to make a scenario where you accidently mix these up is painfully hard if not impossible. Where you get them and where you store them and how they look.

Insane lawsuits and jail time are really deserved here.

Why was the sealant in the schools kitchen and not a janitor's closet

There's also this article:

And weirdly they use a picture that an AI Generated, and it looks very odd.

I used to buy TSP commercially packed in milk cartons but thats a solid not a liquid

Thanks Palin

ok so the milk and the chemicals both come in pouches, that makes slightly more sense

"mistakenly delivered to the site on the same pallet as boxes of large pouches of milk."

Sue them.

Some adult fucking tasted it after all the kids said it was burning their throat? Good god is everyone there a fucking moron?

Yes

No. First time Ive heard of that. I know condensed milk exists that comes in a metal can.

Condensed milk is not drinkable it's like the consistency of yogurt. You're thinking of evaporated milk.
