The notice below was posted at the daycare center where my son is
enrolled. I had not heard of this before and thought that others
might be interested in it as well.

"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!"

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.

Today's San Jose Mercury News (18 July 1986) has a picture of a UFO, so they
must be real too.

produced in liquid form, and is on small pieces of blotter paper,
which are apparently purchased in sheets. They have small cartoon
like pictures on each "hit" as a "target" for the LSD. The samples
that I saw on T.V. could fit the above description.
Could some children have actually been caught with drugs,
and come up with a story that their parents bought, even to the
point of still believing that their children didn't know about the
acid after it's discovery? And when the press got a hold of it, they
bought it? This seems more reasonable the news story version.
Or can somebody who has seen both this "commercial" form of
LSD and these tattoos say that they aren't the same?
Who are these strangers that come in the door,
cover your action, and go you one more?

The story I read in the paper about six months ago was that a
young couple was selling LSD by putting it on the back of stamps.
(Snoopy stamps as I recall) Their young daughter found them one
day and since the class project for the day was sending out
Christmas cards she took them to school with her. When the whole
class started acting strange the school sent them all to the hospital
where they were watched until they came down. The parents of the
young girl were promptly arested.
This sounds much more likely than someone actively distributing
LSD to small children. If tattoos were involved it was probably a
simmilar "mistake".
