Student Takes Cocaine to School, Mistaken for Candy ?

Queens - Young Joseph Eps Jr. 4 years old, gave his friends cocaine at Shirwinds Public School, when told by his father it was just candy. On Friday, September 18th Joseph Eps Senior was seen taken out in handcuffs from his apartment on Pine Hill Drive, after been busted for possession and dealings of cocaine and obtaining a gun without a license.

" This is absurd and ridiculous behavior from my point of view" 43-year-old Rob Goldstein, fathers of Jason Goldstein who is a friend of Eps Jr and also a personal friend of Joseph Eps Senior. "I’ve known them for a while, but I would never expect this to have happened."

After going to school with the cocaine in his book bag to share with his friends, Mrs. Gorden said she saw the strange looking package been taken out of Joseph’s book bag, ready and eager to share with his friends. When asked by Mrs. Gorden to Joseph "What you got
there ?" Joseph replied "Oh Mrs. Gorden it’s just candy my dad gave to me." As Mrs. Gorden asks Joseph to see what the strange package was only then she realize it was cocaine. Mrs. Gorden then called the main offices who send security guards who took the package of cocaine and along with Joseph Jr and called the police.

Oblivious to what is going on, Joseph Jr was scared and frighten by the police, when he was questioned about, where he had got the cocaine from. Which was only then that the police, sent for Joseph Sr. at his apartment. Joseph Senior pleaded that Joseph Jr is the only thing he has left on this earth, after his wife died in a car crash two years back. He said "I only started to use cocaine to help myself relieve pain from the death of my wife and not to give to kids, Im sorry." Joseph Eps Jr was said to live with his grandparents, while his father’s case has been set to be trial next week.
