ing harder than they've ever 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.

I like how the mom called poison control, who said he'd be fine, then he just died. All over half a gummy? She's either lying or leaving stuff out.

Yeah, that sounded a little sus to me. Sounds like little Kayden may have gotten into mommy's pill stash.

It’s VA and a woman so you could safely assume Oxycontin and some kind of benzodiazepines.

From the fact the detective found an empty gummy container, I would guess the poor kid ate the entire thing. I would know because I did the same thing when I was four with flintstone gummy vitamins. Four year olds will eat all of something in one go if they’re alone and it tastes sweet.

True. I'd think the mom wouldn't be r-slurred enough to lie about the amount to save her own kid but she could have at least hidden the evidence or something.

Probably didn’t lie, I think it’s more likely she’s just completely unaware of anything around her due to chronic THC brain rot. Murderer by unadulterated negligence
