Officials said the smoky, liquid explosive wrapped in duct tape was found around dismissal time.

The bomb squad was called in to destroy the item.

Now, parents said they fear for their children's safety.

Parent Angel Sposito said, "There's so much stuff going on in the world there's fear in everybody. Ever since 9-11 and everything that's happened, there's always that fear of something."

No one was hurt.
