Toddler High on Cocaine at Church Preschool

[Guest]

Ok, Krone, I'll leave that alone for the sake of argument, but what would it do to a toddler?? There's a big difference between what amount can harm an adult, and what amount can harm a baby/toddler/young child......

i am in no way condoning that this is ok to have happen to anyone, however the amount that it would take a toddler to "be high" and adult are obviously different, cocaine is very harmful in itself even to adults. So to answer your question i think any amount is harmful to a toddler, as well as harmful to humans in general. Coke is a heavy duty narcotic.

Its a tragedy that there would even be a crack rock lying around someplace that this little one could get at in transit from there house to a church.

I might have missed this in the initial post, but does anyone know how long the kid was acting strangely? The amount of time that she was "staggering" would help us know how much she had potentially eaten. But once again, we have to take in account that the toddler's "tolerance" would be much less than an adults.

I think we can all agree that cocaine is not something that should be lying around for kids to put in their mouths. If anyone finds out more about this, please post it on here. I would like to know the details of it eventually.

Also, I think just because the church members and her parents tested negative does not rule them out. It takes only about three or so days for cocaine to leave the system. Not that anyone ever said that they were innocent. I'm just pointing it out. I have also never known a cocaine user to casually leave their stash lying around. Usually, that stuff does not stick around for long. This entire thing is confusing.

I'm not condoning it either, all I ment was......well, shit, there's no real way to word it any better, at least not right now. Hopefully you folks get the gist of what I mean, though.

Well the ld50 of coke is 95.1 mg/kg.

i get it, but there is no real way to gauge what is too much for a toddler as even adult tolerances range from .5 grams to 10 grams, i mean you never know. I would have to say again that any amount of it is detrimental to a child.

The kid's probably got a crack dealing uncle who was babysitting it. i dunno

I know that is true for mice/rats. Is it the same for people as well??

wonder if the kid could have gotten into some residue, off a mirror or such, or IMO it would have to have been a very small rock if crack or cola not to have caused more damage. Not sure of crack, but reg cola you can ingest, depends on how much. Many ingest in a shot of liquid(aka Stevie Ray Vaughn when he was on it, with whiskey was his preference) when they don't want the nasal symptoms. It's also been known to be put all over certain female body parts in a lovefest sort of celebration, i.e. back in the college days, and noone died from all that licking and intaking. I do know its hits ya harder, not as quick, but very heavy, methinks cause of the close proximity to the heart and stomach when ya do it with a shot. Be interesting to find out the particulars of just how the child came into contact, though

or just been put somewhere in an apt or house or in vehicle where they been partying hard and indiscriminately and stuff laying around, but who does that anymore?

Hate to be cynical and pessimestic, but if not parents, then that fam member that works at school or church also....?!

Trigger Happy, thanks for bringing up Stevie. I can't believe I forgot!! If my sources are correct..he used to throw an 8-ball into a glass of whiskey and down it. I am pretty sure that swallowing cocaine will result in the effects coming later than usual. I don't think that the child licking a mirror would have that large of an effect though. The residue left on a mirror would be so little that I doubt it would produce the symptoms that the child expressed. That is assuming that there was strictly residue on the mirror, not a fat line.

it could of been tracked in on the bottom of a sole of a shoe right off the street also.

coke is a pain killer in away a local anastetic , it will kill pain from tooth aches or even broken noses or resetting noses and very good quality powder will make your whole face go numb................ just a bit of trivia from the Disco era.......not that i know.

Grand Master Flash/Saturday Night Fever Still ringing in my head.

It could have been. The only problem with that is, walking on a crack rock is going to make it crumble. If putting all of your weight on it didn't break it up, then it would extremely difficult for people to break off a piece for themselves with a razor. In my mind, the crack rock would only be safe if it were wedged in between the tread of a shoe. The tread would have to be very, very solid and be large enough to keep a rock of crack cocaine safe in there. Since toddles rarely wear shoes with big tread (hiking boots), I think the probability of this is minimal. But you never know!
Now I have disco music stuck in my head too! Haha
