State officials are investigating flutes that were given to some students in at least three Orange County school districts as part of a music program. Authorities say the instruments may have been tainted with semen. District officials sent emails to parents of students Friday afternoon, September 29, 2017 warning them about an ongoing investigation regarding flutes given to students including young elementary-school age students, given by a certain individual who is also being investigated.
The flutes were made of PVC plastic piping and a single wine cork and had an exterior that could be decorated, district officials said. The individual, who was not identified, is an independent contractor. The individual wasn’t an employee of the affected Orange County districts and worked at multiple schools districts in Southern California.
An Orange County parent went to her local police station to drop off a flute her daughter used that may be contaminated with a music instructor's bodily fluids.
"Sick to my stomach, couldn't sleep at night. My stomach is still turning. I tried to reach out to other parents who may have not heard about it," parent Gina said.
Three districts in Orange County have schools that are part of the investigation: Newport Mesa Unified School District, Capistrano Unified School District and Fountain Valley School District.
"I feel extremely violated for my daughter. Extremely violated," Gina said. "I couldn't explain it to her last night. I didn't know how. She knew me. She saw me getting sick to my stomach, but she didn't know exactly what was going on," Gina added.
In June, Gina's 11-year-old daughter brought home a flute from the Flutes Across the World program. Now, the mother is worried about her daughter's health.
"I mean it's just disgusting. We don't know if it's just bodily fluid. I mean should we have our kids tested?" she said.
The instructor's identity has not been released. The U.S. Postal Service is taking the lead in the investigation against him, but officials did not explain why the agency was in charge or how it was involved in the case. However, the unidentified man has been placed under arrest and is being questioned amid a larger sexual misconduct investigation.
The US Postal service, who were responsible for transporting the flutes, said that 'protecting children from crimes of sexual abuse and exploitation is a priority.'
