A Texas mom has been jailed after sending her son to school with a special lemon, salt and vinegar drink that landed another student in hospital.
Jennifer Lynn Rossi, 45, put the feral concoction inside a sports bottle and gave it to her son to bring to school to get back at his ‘bully’ who stole from him.

During P.E. class on Tuesday, Rossi’s son gave the bottle to his classmate who had allegedly stolen his drink the day before.
