Toddler goes to ICU after eating pot cookies, father charged

A 36-year-old man from Gull Lake faces several charges after his 20-month old son spent two days in intensive care after getting his hands on some cookies with marijuana in them.

Swift Current Rural RCMP were called to that city’s hospital, where the 20-month old was unresponsive, on Jan. 11, according to Cpl. Scott Hunter of Swift Current RCMP.

The child’s father was arrested that day, Hunter said.

After an investigation, the father was accused of making the marijuana cookies and the boy was “given access” to them, according to a news release. The boy overdosed on marijuana and had severe seizures, but survived.

Hunter said the father was initially charged and released, but subsequently breached his conditions and was rearrested Tuesday night. After reviewing the case, the crown decided to charge the man with criminal negligence causing bodily harm, Hunter said.

The man appeared in provincial court in Swift Current Wednesday facing the negligence charge as well as impaired driving, disobeying a court order, possession of marijuana and breach of probation, the release said. Hunter said the appearance prompted Wednesday's news release. The accused's next scheduled court appearance is Feb. 20.

Ridiculous. Seizures at such a young age will certainly affect the child's development. Sad.

impeccable timing.

Now if the baby swallowed some hydro morph or Tylenol etc they would have chalked it up to an accident. IMO but that dirty cannabis well that's a news story lol

You'd never hear that story that probably happens a few times a year.
Having said that, gotta have fkn edibles stored in childproof containers.

Sadly it's not the first time and it won't be the last.
Kids get a hold of Pharma meds. Same shit.
All meds should be kept away and stored safely.

All my meds are in a safe. Clearly that toddler got quite a dose.. That's just stupid on the parents end.

There's aluminum, mercury and monsanto's glyphosate in many cookies kids eat... Who is ready to face the truth about cookies? Many children are exposed to brandy filled chocolates as a child?? Brain damage? Throw the compaies who do this before a judge. And the breakfast cereals containing BHT. Tolulene??? Paint thiner of the benzene family. USA is removing it as of last weeks decision. Let's talk about that since we are on the topic of protecting our children. Forced inoculation of Ontario and newbrunswick children for MMR. A vacinne that is directly linked with autism and type 1 diabetes due to pancreatitis. They mandate this vaccine for a child to be "allowed" to attend school in Ontario and New Brunswick. This is banned in Japan and the autism link is completely proven. Who is ready to save the children? I am. Not Health Canada.

kids WILL go after sweets...i guess a freezer bag & the freezer were off the table for ideas of storing?
ammo for next month no doubt

Those who ignore the real problems are selfish. Look in mirror.

boo!

Peter. You should have some chidlins.

Not really into mass immunization. It's kinda like what we did with Cannabis.
Fuxed it all up!

I feel nature does a far better job of it. Just takes a bit longer is all. People want everything now!!!





I can wait.

Sad to hear. Reminds me of the toddler who died drinking grow nutes in UK. Everyone reading this, please think of the children...

keep ALL meds out of the reach of children...and small objects....

I'm positive the owner of the major news outlets....is also a share holder in mmpr companies.....
I saw him doing some round table discussions...on his own news channel.....and sure had a money grin on for the potential mmpr..which was not a reality at the time I saw them on TV ...
I have noticed they have ramped up the stories...as we have closed in on the court challenge...co-incidence?

Unless I missed something this doesn't look like it has anything to do with the MMAR/MMPR.

it's not...well nothing mentioned...just what a bad parent he was by not putting his MJ cookies out of reach...I think that's dumb s kids put everything in their mouths
it's more ammo against us is what i think. lots of articles lately

Parent should be arrested for being stupid and negligent. If we proceed on the premise that cannabis is medicine, then, like any other medication, it should be kept in a secure location.

What sort of tool leaves a bunch of edibles where a kid can have at them ?

I have a medically fragile child who receives palliative care. My house is a junkies dream. I keep everything, sharps, injectables, cannabis, etc LOCKED UP in a box, with a key, in a secure location.

Thanks for caring. Spend a few more minutes thinking about what is actually happening to our children and you might care enough to change things.......... And about chitlins ....the types of food poor people are forced to eat shows how bad "second class citizens" are mistreated. I&I am working on changing that every waking day. A man had regular "Monsanto" glyphosate milk and safe organic milk both in his grocery cart. I asked what's the reasoning behind that. The safe organic milk was for his daughter. He knows the difference and kills himself and saves his daughter. Very sad. Chitlins are bad Monsanto crops and derivatives and all animals fed by them are genetically toxic. We are all the target of this intentional eugenics depopulation program. Monsanto is guilty with intent to harm and injure billions, yet we have time to talk about a cookie accident and burn this man? Free this man and burn Monsanto.
