Lieutenant Cheyenne Casale, a spokesperson for the Hopewell Police Department, told the press that one of the children had prescription medicine, and somehow "got into it" and "shared" it with the other children around him.
"I don’t know the details of their treatment but some are being transported to other hospitals for further treatment," continued Casale.
She said that law enforcement intends to "find out who are we going to hold accountable and get these kids in a safe environment, that’s our number one goal."
Child Protective services was also called by police at the time.
