Kindergarteners hospitalized after eating marijuana gummies

May 6, 2022 by Nena Serrano 6 Comments

WHAT’S BEING CLAIMED:

  • A mom is facing second-degree child abuse after four kids ate her marijuana edibles.
  • The mother left her homemade marijuana gummies at home where her child discovered them.
  • The kid brought the edibles to the school, where four kids became really sick and were taken to the hospital.

According to officials, a Michigan mother produced THC-infused treats that affected four of her child’s classmates, requiring hospitalization.

Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson said the lady, who has not been identified, would be arraigned on Wednesday on a charge of second-degree child abuse over the incident at Edgerton Elementary School in Clio.

Swanson said the mother bought a container of potent THC oil in August and then used gelatin to make her own sweets.

According to Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton, the homemade sweets were then wrapped into a Life Savers Gummies wrapper and left out at home, where her child discovered them.

Swanson said the child took them to school, where four of the 24 kindergartners in the class became “really sick” and were taken to the hospital. The THC oil in each delectable was up to 30 milligrams.

“In less than 20 minutes, you have kindergartners unconscious, short of breath, lethargic, the school evacuated, the prosecutor contacted, sheriff’s office responding, kids taken to the emergency room,” Swanson, who was visibly upset, said. “How did we get here?”

According to Leyton, the mother faces up to ten years in prison if convicted of the criminal offense.

Fletcher Spears, superintendent of Clio Area Schools, said the four sick children, aged 5 and 6, were brought to a hospital in Flint. Three were sent home on Saturday, and the fourth was released on Sunday, he said.

Swanson said the mother has other children in her home and that Child Protective Services will be contacted.

In Michigan, recreational marijuana is allowed, but the irresponsible mother was charged with allowing her unaware 6-year-old to take them from the refrigerator, according to Leyton.

“We understand that mom probably just made a mistake here,” Swanson said. “Nobody’s saying she’s a criminal. She made a mistake, but it’s a mistake that has caused a lot of havoc.”

    So why is she being threatened with 10 years of jail time? Kids will be kids. Had her child taken her balloons to school, would mom be arrested? If her child took her boy toy “teething ring” to show & tell, would she be arrested? What if said child helped pack his lunch box with a “napkin”.

    Mom is irresponsible. She should have told her child that the gummies were for adults only. Jail time, let the judge decide. I would support it. I know I won’t be popular in this view. But somebody has to be the grown up.

    Mother should be interviewed extensively by Ct. appointed Drs. Why was mom using THC? Why was mom so careless with her placement of gummies?
    No family or child needs to be separated unless there is a valid criminal intent or act. The mom and kids will live with this experience for a lo g time. Why not try to correct and help rather than punish and create furtber damage? Prison? Not for this!!!! Counselling, guidance, classes and home, med checkups, YES! Unless mom left gummies accessible intentionally, this is a medical issue, not a criminal ct. drama.

    My Answer: How you got here was by electing democrats. Clean up your state by VOTING OUT ALL RINO’s & DEMOCRATS in 2022 & 2024.
