During Thursday's dismissal time at an Austin, Texas, elementary school, students leaving before the long weekend were greeted by a parent dressed as the Easter Bunny, who gave out an unusual item: unopened condoms.
According to Fox 7, Gullett Elementary School principal Tammy Thompson said that some students received the usual Easter item of candy, while others were handed the more shocking item for young students.

"This afternoon during dismissal, a Gullett parent visited campus dressed as the Easter Bunny and handed out plastic eggs. Some of those eggs contained candy, and some students were also given unopened condoms," the letter to parents stated.
Thompson said in a letter that the event was unplanned, nor was it sanctioned by the school.
Austin Independent School District said that staff asked the parent to leave, but they continued to give out the eggs while standing on the public sidewalk.
The district called the incident "an incredibly careless and inappropriate action," and said they are working with the Austin ISD Police Department on the possibility of enacting repercussions for the parent.
"Please know that this was not a planned event, nor sanctioned by the school, and we have spoken with the parent about the inappropriate nature of their activity. We value parent participation and always request that you work with campus staff to best support our students," the letter concluded.
