OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – A 6-year-old girl has undergone a battery of
tests and precautionary treatment after finding a condom on her
school playground and, thinking it was a balloon, put it in her
mouth.
The incident happened Wednesday outside Lothrop Magnet Center
in northeast Omaha.
Omaha Public Schools spokeswoman Luanne Nelson says several
children found the condom, but only the girl handled it. Nelson
says a school nurse cleaned the girl’s mouth and hands, and then
called the girl’s father.
The girl’s parents took her to a doctor. She spent several hours
undergoing tests and receiving a shot for sexually transmitted
diseases as a precaution.
Nelson says it’s not known whether the condom had been used, but
that it was sent to a hospital for testing.
