A shocking incident in Alabama has left a family demanding answers after their 4-year-old daughter was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning… an event that unfolded while she was at school.
The child, whose identity has not been released, was rushed to the Children’s and Women’s Hospital in Mobile, where she spent two days in the intensive care unit. According to toxicology reports obtained by WALA, the young girl had consumed a significant amount of ethanol, commonly known as ethyl alcohol. While the source of the alcohol remains unknown, the situation has sparked major concern from the child’s family and the community.
Doctors were alarmed by the level of alcohol in her system, which far surpassed Alabama’s legal blood alcohol limit of 0.08% for adults. Ethanol is a common ingredient in products like hand sanitizer, skincare items, perfumes, and even some food packaging… raising troubling questions about what the child may have accessed at the school.
“She was literally slobbering at the mouth. It was terrifying,” said the girl’s father, Albert Singleton. “It’s a nightmare to drop your daughter off at school and then see her carried out with no explanation.”
Although the child has since been released from the hospital, her parents… Albert and his wife… are still seeking answers and accountability. Authorities have launched an official investigation, but details remain scarce.
iHearts143Quotes reached out to the Prichard Police Department for comment. Meanwhile, Mobile County Public Schools has not yet responded to media inquiries.
The disturbing case has sparked outrage online and throughout the Alabama community, as many question how such a dangerous exposure could happen in a school setting. The family hopes the investigation will bring clarity… and prevent another child from facing a similar ordeal.
