Northern Kentucky police say a four-year-old girl was hospitalized after she ate a THC gummy belonging to her grandmother. The girl’s grandmother and great uncle were jailed, in part because they allegedly didn’t get the child medical care quickly when they couldn’t wake her. Dr. Elizabeth Hawse, a pediatrician in Lexington, said the case is a reminder that kids can find things they’re not supposed to.
“Keeping things out of reach and locking them up are really the best way; anything that they shouldn't be eating, right? Medicines, THC, alcohol, any poisons, cleaners, anything like that needs to be up secured and out of reach.”
