I had not heard of this before and thought that others might be interested in it as well. Catherine Grimes "The notice below was received from the Hazlet Township Schools." "The message that appears below is being shared with you for your information. Although I am not aware that the material described is being circulated in the Hazlet area, I nevertheless do believe you should be alerted to its existence. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph A. Dispenziere Superintendent of Schools" "A Warning to Parents" "According to San Diego police authorities, a form of tattoo-- BLUE STAR -- is readily available to young children. This is a new way of getting ACID to unsuspecting kids. It is in the form of a small sheet of white paper containing blue stars in the size of a pencil eraser, with each STAR impregnated with LSD, and can be removed from the paper and placed in the mouth. Absorption can also occur through the skin by simply handling the paper tattoo! There are also brightly colored tabs, resembling postage stamps, which have pictures of Superman, Mickey Mouse, and other Disney characters, and are placed in red cardboard boxes wrapped in foil in a clear, lock-type bag. A young child could happen upon these and have a fatal TRIP. It is also feared that little children could be given a free TATTOO by older children who want to have some fun. It is important that all parents be alerted in case their child is involved, even innocently! As you know, stickers are very popular now, especially among small children. BE CAREFUL!" ----- News saved at Wed, 9-Jul-86 17:31:42 EDT Several days ago, I posted an article on acid tattoos which had been posted at the daycare center where my son is enrolled. Since, then several people have responded that a similar story had been published in a book by Brunvald(spelling). I did attempt to find the source of the notice. I contacted the school system which had distributed the notice to the daycare center--they had received it from another school system. I also contacted the San Diego Police Department. The woman that I spoke with did not have any information. It seems that yes, it is probably a FOAF(friend of a friend) story, but since nobody is absolutely certain that it is not factual, I am not going to take any chances. I'll be keeping my eyes open for anything that resembles these tattoos. Thanks to all who responded, I certainly hope that those of you who were aware of the book by Brunvald(sp), will still exhibit caution concerning anything that resembles the described tattoos.
