Minneapolis kindergartener hospitalized after classmate gave her "poisonous candies"

MINNEAPOLIS — A little girl is in the hospital after she says a kindergarten classmate gave her something suspicious.

Rachel Hodges says her daughter, Da'Kyah, was shaking, having trouble walking and acting bizarrely Monday.

Officials from Nellie Stone Johnson Elementary School in Minneapolis called Hodges to say Da'Kyah had thrown up and had what looked like seizures.

"She didn't know who I was," Hodges said. "She didn't know my mom. She has a twin, she didn't know him."

Hodges says after emergency room doctors told her it wasn't a seizure, the episodes of odd behavior continued on and off.

She says they include hallucinations and mood changes.

"I've never even seen a child act that way," Hodges said. "And it's just sad, because she's scared of me, and I'm her mom."

Da'Kyah says a girl in her class gave her what she said was candy.
