Texas Mother Arrested for Mixing Drink That Hospitalized Son's Classmate

Jennifer Lynn Rossi faces charges after a concocted drink intended to deter bullies leads to a classmate's hospitalization.

A Texas mother, Jennifer Lynn Rossi, was arrested for allegedly mixing a drink with lemon, salt, and vinegar to deter bullies from stealing her son's drink, resulting in a classmate being hospitalized.
The incident occurred at Legacy Traditional School - Alamo Ranch, where Rossi's son gave the mixed drink to a classmate during P.E. class, leading to the classmate's hospitalization due to nausea and a headache.
Rossi, who is a nurse, claimed she knew the mixture was non-toxic and intended it as a prank to protect her son from bullying.
Despite the non-toxic nature of the drink, Rossi faces charges of injury to a child causing bodily injury, and her son will also face disciplinary actions according to school policies.
The case has sparked discussions on bullying and parental responsibility, with some questioning whether Rossi should have been charged.
