SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. (WWBT/Gray News) – A mother in Virginia was charged with murder and child neglect in connection to her son’s death after he is believed to have eaten a large number of THC gummies.
According to the Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office, a grand jury indicted 30-year-old Dorothy Annette Clements for the death of her 4-year-old son.
The child died on May 8, after suffering a medical emergency two days before.
Detectives learned the child’s toxicity results showed a high level of THC, making them believe the boy ate a lot of THC gummies.
The sheriff’s office said doctors told detectives that if the boy received quick medical attention, his death could have been prevented.
