      Subject:  Warning to Parents
      
      Dear Friends....
      
      I got the following message from a friend and felt that
      it was something important enough to pass on.
      
       ---------------------------------------------------------------
      TO:  All Staff
       
      Outpatient Chemical Dependency Treatment Service
      For ALL of you that have children....regardless of their ages.
      Please give this your widest possible dissemination:
      
      Warning to Parents,
      
      A form of Tattoo called "Blue Star" is being sold to school children. 
      It is a small piece of paper containing a blue star.  They are the size
      of a pencil eraser, and each star is soaked with LSD.
      
      THE DRUG IS ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN SIMPLY
      BY HANDLING THE PAPER.
      
      There are also brightly colored paper tattoos resembling postage
      stamps that have the pictures of the following:  Superman,
      Mickey Mouse, clowns, Disney Characters, Bart Simpson, Butterflies, etc.
      
      EACH ONE IS WRAPPED IN FOIL.
       
      This is a new way of selling ACID by appealing to young children!
      
      THEY ARE LACED WITH DRUGS!!!
      
      If your child gets any of the above, do not handle them.  These are
      known to react quickly and some are laced with STRYCHNINE.
      
      Please feel free to reproduce this article and distribute it within your
      community and work place.  Get the word out about this danger to our
      children.
      
      Please copy and post at your work, give to friends, send a copy to
      your local schools.  This is very serious, young lives have already 
      been taken.  This is growing faster than we can warn parents and
      professionals.
      
      << Many schools are already aware of this problem >>
      
      Peter Soltesz
      
      Thanx Jim Cooper for forwarding this.
      <<< end of message >>>

       Readers of Usenet will notice that this is a well-known discredited 
      story of old, also known as an "urban legend" without much in the way of 
      a kernel of truth in it...
