Dozens of parents expressed their outrage after discovering their children had been handed out “explicit novelty chocolates” at a Mother’s day event, Australian local media have reported.

The incident took place last week at Woodberry Public school located in New South Wales.

The chocolates were shaped like different private parts of the human body such as penises, breasts and buttocks. Some also depicted couples having sex.

Cassandra Lacey, one of the parents who were interviewed by local media, said she was horrified when she opened the bag which contained the chocolates.

After further investigation it turned out the chocolates were left over from last year.

The school said they were not aware of the explicit nature of the chocolates.

“Gifts were prepared by parents, for parents, and the school had no knowledge of them until some of the mothers complained," local media quoted the school’s administration.
