AIKEN, S.C. (AP)- Prosecutors say two 10-year-old boys who tried to trade marijuana to their Aiken County elementary school classmates for bubble gum or desserts won't face drug charges.

Burnettown authorities told the Aiken Standard they weren't sure the students knew that what they were doing was wrong.

Authorities say 3 grams of marijuana were found on two Jefferson
Elementary School fourth-graders after their classmates told teachers.

Police say they don't know where the students found the drugs or why they brought them to school.

Police say they do not think the boys or any of the children at the school smoked the drug or were in any serious danger.

I raised children by myself. They never did the things I hear about. I was in their lives and we talked about everything. Talk to your kids don't let someone else raise them. You had them now take care of them! Don't let the drug people do it. Have pride in yourself and your kids. Shut off the TV, cell phones, computers, and listen and ask questions about their day. Do things with them. Teach them the right way not the wrong way of life. You both will be happier. Parents be Parents!!!
