Earlier this year, a preschool teacher pled guilty to four counts of injury to a child. Four 1-year-old children under her care at a daycare center in Prosper were hospitalized after eating THC gummies that she brought into the classroom, as reported by Why Are Daycare Drugging Incidents in Prosper So Dangerous?
Just like in the local news story that we shared above involving 1-year-old children who were hospitalized, any unapproved drugs or medications can have serious health impacts on a child’s body and well-being.
A child can experience:
- Brain injury
- Cardiac arrest
- Organ damage
- Severe allergic reaction to an ingredient in the unauthorized medicine, such as going into anaphylactic shock or experiencing a seizure
In some instances, a child’s extreme sensitivity to a drug, over-the-counter medication, or an overdose of the medication at a daycare center can lead to a tragic fatality. In fact, unintentional pediatric poisoning deaths from medications and drugs for children ages five and younger spiked 37% in a single year, per a 2023 U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission report.
As a parent, you have a right to take legal action to hold the Prosper daycare center accountable for drugging your child. You may be eligible for compensation, also known as damages, to cover medical expenses and other financial burdens. Learn more about damages in a daycare drugging lawsuit in this article.
