SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. -- A Virginia mother has been charged with felony murder and felony child neglect in the death of her 4-year-old son, who authorities believe ate a large amount of THC gummies.
Detectives arrested Dorothy Annette Clements on Wednesday and she is being held without bond, the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement posted on Facebook. Felony murder is the accidental killing of a person in the commission of certain felonies. Court records didn't list an attorney for Clements.
Clements’ son, Tanner, was found unresponsive on May 6 and was taken to a hospital where he died two days later, news outlets reported.
Before she was charged, the mother told WUSA-TV that she thought she had bought CBD gummies from a Fredericksburg store and had no idea that what she bought actually contained THC. She said the boy suffered from a “cardiac episode” and reported that it was determined her son “had something odd with his heart.”
Hmmm something wrong with his heart. Sounds like THC is gonna take the fall for something "safe and effective".
