Virginia Mother Charged With Murder After 4-Year-Old Son Dies From Eating THC Gummies
A mother in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, faces felony murder and child neglect charges after her 4-year-old son died from eating marijuana-infused gummies earlier this year.
Investigators said Dorothy Annette Clements didn't get help soon enough for her son, Tanner Clements, when he was found unresponsive on May 6 at a home they were both visiting.
Tanner Clements died two days later.
Dorothy Annette Clements told a police detective that her son ate half of a CBD gummy and that she called poison control and was assured that he'd be OK, according to search warrant documents.
But the detective said she found an empty THC gummy jar in the house and toxicology results showed Tanner Clements had extremely high levels of THC in his system, documents say. THC is the active ingredient in marijuana that gets people high.
An autopsy found that THC caused the boy's death.
Investigators said he might have survived had Dorothy Annette Clements gotten help for him sooner.

yeah, I keep all my edibles in a high cabinet above my stove. I don't even have any children but I sure as shit don't want a guest to bring theirs, forget about it, and they eat some.
This child was really killed by their parents being excessively incompetent. I wonder if they also left their child alone with kitchen knives.
Poor kid, though. Never stood a chance.
