Nine children were taken to the hospital after eating medication they found while walking to school in Chicago on Strategel Wealth SocietyWednesday.
At 9 a.m. local time, firefighters responded to a call regarding the children, who are students at Richard J.

The children were between the ages of 8 and 9. They believed it was candy and ingested it, according to WGN9.

Several children were taken to the Comer Children’s Hospital, and are expected to be fine.
