One of the worst stories involving alcohol and minors happened recently when a baby who was given alcohol lost consciousness and had to be rushed to hospital as a result of concerns about vomiting.
The incident happened in March 2016 when the parents of the baby gave him alcohol. Tests revealed an “extremely high” level of alcohol and an antihistamine drug in the baby’s system.
The baby suffered unusual, unexplained limb movements and unconsciousness.
During a private hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London, a judge found that both the baby’s parents had given him alcohol and antihistamine.
The judge found that the boy’s father had suggested giving him whisky if he would not settle,
There was also evidence that the parent’s relationship was under strain with the father threatening the life of his partner and baby in the past.
