children\u2019s interactions with the suspect were asked to contact the police department at 610-586-1102.<\/p>\n<p>According to WCAU, a student reported having seen Lee give out vapes to children on three different occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Student witnesses also told authorities they had seen her smoke marijuana with children, according to <a
