LONDON, June 19 (Xinhua) -- Three girls aged 12 were in hospital on Sunday in Manchester after taking ecstasy pills.
They are thought to be among the youngest ever to be made dangerously ill by swallowing social drugs.
Greater Manchester Police said two were seriously ill and the third was under observation in hospital.
The incident came just weeks after teenager Faye Allen, 17, from nearby Liverpool, died after taking an ecstasy pill at a dance event in Manchester.
Police were alerted to a shopping precinct late Saturday night after reports that the 12 year olds had become ill after taking the drug known as "teddy tablets."
Paramedic crews rushed the three girls to hospital in the city as police launched an inquiry to establish who supplied the potentially lethal class-A drugs to the schoolgirls.
Detective Chief Inspector Chris Walker of Manchester CID said: "It outrages me that people think it is acceptable to sell controlled drugs to anyone, let alone 12-year-old girls."
