Delaware State Police arrested a 30-year-old mother after her 4-year-old daughter unintentionally brought heroin to a Selbyville daycare in a backpack.
Teachers at Hickory Tree Child Care Center called 911 Monday morning after seeing some of the children with small bags of an unknown substance.
According to authorities, Ashley Tull, had given her daughter her own backpack because the family dog ruined the child's bag during the night.
The little girl thought the small bags contained candy and began handing them to her friends.
A total of 249 packets of heroin were reportedly found in the backpack.
"None of the packets were opened by any of the kids," Master Cpl. Gary E. Fournier said.
Several students who came in contact with the unopened bags were transported to the hospital for precautionary measures, but all were released.

Investigators reportedly said that "the white powdery substance, which was still enclosed in the bags, was removed by the teachers and immediately taken to the Selbyville Police Department where it was determined to be heroin."
Tull is currently charged with maintaining a drug property and with three counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Police are still investigating the case and Tull could face more charges. She was arraigned and released on $6,000 bail.
Ashley Tull also has a 9-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl. All three kids were handed over to a relative and Tull was issued a no contact order with them.
