Is it possible to prosecute the 14 yr old who slipped my daughter ecstasy?
Question by Lamont: Is it possible to prosecute the 14 yr old who slipped my daughter ecstasy?
My 14 yr old was nearly killed, after being slipped the drug “ecstasy” in her soda. Her 14 yr old “friend” is the only suspect. My daughter wasn’t with anyone else and blood tests point to the day the drug was ingested (as it is usually only in the body 24-72 hours). My daughter’s reaction to learning she tested positive, indicate she is telling the truth. She had no idea she took this and it was absolutely against her will. She has been interviewed by doctors and psychiatrists, as well as 3 mental health counselors. As her mom, I had to look objectively at the circumstances and although I don’t want to think she was experimenting, I had to consider the possibility. I am convinced she never chose this.
I have filed a police report, but they’re waiting to interview my daughter in person. She’s being released today, after a 5 day hospitalization.
The drug caused memory loss, seizures, mania, a suicide attempt (after “crashing”) and she was ultimately given anti-psychotic medication at the ER. She has fully recovered and does not seem addicted. With her medical condition (major depression/anxiety), this was one of the worst things she could have had in her system.
I’m wondering if we will have enough evidence with hospital records and testimony from my daughter and my family to prosecute the girl who did this to her. If she’ll poison her best friend, she’s clearly a danger to anyone. I don’t want anyone else to be victimized by her. We live in Michigan.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, I’m filing for PPO for my daughter.
Thank you!!!
I should add – NOTHING else was in my daughter’s blood test or urinalysis. No marijuana, no nothing. She has never used drugs and has never tested positive for anything. I have years of her medical records and she’s been routinely drug tested since her treatment for depression began last year. I signed for the police to have access to all of them.
You and I know, if a kid was experimenting w ecstasy, there would be pot or something else showing up with a positive result. No 14 yr old just takes ecstasy by itself.
None of her meds would have given these results either, by the way.
No alcohol was involved. And with her condition, it is ABSOLUTELY possible she could have become addicted. We were looking at possible drug rehab for her.
She has major depression (which is stabilized) and ecstasy stops all production of serotonin. Research what it can do chemically.
When my daughter woke up in the hospital and was told she tested, she was sobbing and begging to know when it would leave her body. She was so scared. If she would have known, she’d be protecting her best friend.
Instead, she begged me to call her school so this girl couldn’t hurt anyone else. She kept asking why someone would do this to her. It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen. It took 3 adults (1 police officer) to save her when she was attempting suicide on Monday. Thank God we reached her in time!!!
