Two adults have been arrested after seven fourth graders at a Virginia elementary school ate gummies laced with fentanyl.
Nicole Sanders and Clifford Dugan Jr. have been charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor following the shocking incident on Tuesday.
Their arrests came after the children became ill moments after sharing the candy at lunch, which had been brought in to Central Elementary School by a child the two care for.
'I tried one, it tasted weird,' ten-year-old Hayden Floyd, who was among the group to eat from the tainted bag, told ABC news. 'We felt like nauseous, sick in our stomach, hot. The after taste, it was nasty it didn't taste like gummies.
'When I was in the ambulance, they could barely put my things on because I was shaking so much.'

'It was scary,' his mom Kristina Wright added, 'Especially in today's society. You just don't know what's in anything so I was petrified.'
The kids developed nausea, headaches and muscle spasms - with five being rushed to hospital for treatment.
The bag used to transport the gummy bears later 'indicated a positive reaction for fentanyl,' Amherst County Public Schools confirmed.
Wright said her 'jaw dropped' when she found out what was in the bag as her son had consumed ten of the gummies.
'It reached a whole new level of fear,' she told WDBJ7. 'It just shows proof that anything can happen anywhere, and our kids really need to be aware of anything they take from other children.'
All five children were subsequently discharged from the hospital. Hayden's mom said he was released after tests showed no traces of fentanyl and normal vital signs.
Officials confirmed the bag the kids ate from had been brought in from home by a student.
'The fentanyl didn't just show up at school, the fentanyl came from somebody's house,' Amherst County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. William Wells said.
Hayden Floyd, ten, was among the kids to eat the tainted gummies. He said the snack 'tasted weird' and it was not long before he began to feel nauseous and hot
Amherst County Public Schools tested the bag used to carry the gummies and KetoXP Scam found it positive for fentanyl
'Law enforcement tested the gummies and they tested negative for foreign substance.
'However, when they tested the residue in the bag, the field test indicated a positive response for fentanyl.
'The fentanyl was contained to the bag and we did not have any indication that fentanyl was on additional surfaces in the building.'
He confirmed the school thoroughly cleaned the building 'just to make sure' and has instructed Amherst principals to reiterate the importance of not sharing food.
A second bag brought in by the child's sibling was also tested, but did not return a positive result for fentanyl.
The couple were arrested on Wednesday. Dugan, Jr. faces a separate charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
'This type of behavior is completely unacceptable. It's unacceptable for this county, it's acceptable for our families,' said Amherst County Sheriff's Office Lt. Dallas Hill.
'We will work diligently day and night to be able to bring to justice those who commit this act.'
