A drugs squad officer left a packet of speed in a 10-year-old schoolgirl's bag after a drugs awareness lesson.
The police officer put three packets of the drug in her bag but after the demonstration took back only two, reports the Mirror.
Kia Butterfield did not find the amphetamine until she got back to her home in Wainfleet, near Skegness.
Her mum Amanda, 33, said: "I still can't get my head around this - an officer gave my daughter a bag of hard drugs. If your kids aren't safe from drugs on a day out with police, when are they safe?
"My three-year-old was playing at the table where those drugs were. She could have mistaken it for a bag of sherbet and swallowed it. That could have been fatal."
The officer put the drugs in Kia's bag to demonstrate how sniffer dogs worked during a seminar for primary schoolchildren at a Butlins camp.
