Three schoolchildren were reportedly fallen ill after inhaling a mystery substance from a vape pen at school. A mother of a youngster at Cedars Academy in Birstall, Leicester, said a student brought a vapor into the school on Thursday and shared it with some of his friends, causing them to fall ill. She claims a call to East Midlands Ambulance Service was initially made but cancelled later - though the school denies ambulances were called at all. The students' parents were asked to go to the school to take the pupils home, according to Leicestershire Live . Video clips showing the unwell pupils had been circulating on a mobile phone app, said a parent who did not want to be named. She said they put some oil in a vape pen and 'one lad fell in some bushes and another fell into a wall'. "Some of the kids filmed what happened and they were asked to delete what they filmed but it got out,"she added. A spokeswoman for the ambulance service confirmed they were called shortly before 11.30am on March 21. She said: "We received a call requesting our assistance at 11.28am but within five minutes we received a call to cancel the ambulance before we arrived."
