However, Nadezhda Nuri, the boy’s mother, told local media that the substance was not cocaine, but instead was simply flour. She claims that the image was taken as a joke but then uploaded onto social media by her 13-year-old daughter.


Mrs Nuri said: "My mother first saw the [picture of the] children and called me. I couldn’t have done such a thing, I don’t even know how to write.
"My daughter must have taken the photo and uploaded it online. I can't do it because I can't even read or write, never mind use a computer."

"I was only joking, I got the idea from Facebook.
"I have never seen real drugs. I once saw a woman on Facebook making lines with flour and then snorting it."
