"The principal told sixth-graders that they're going to die because people were poking people with needles"

More than two dozen students at a local elementary school are being checked for
HIV and hepatitis C after they were jabbed with needles.

A sixth-grader at West Union Elementary apparently got the diabetic lancets from a baby sitter, took them into the school and gave them out to classmates.

"It's a terrifying situation, as a parent and a child," said Leslie Carrier, a mother of one of the students.
